Issue/Introduction

Safex imports have issues if a non-eiamadmin id is used

Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Resolution

When an id other than eiamadmin is used the id is checked/rechecked for each and every action taken against any and all objects in the input file.
Those checks (authentications and authorizations) of the id can be time consuming and lead to timeouts.

You can try from an AutoSys machine
1. cd to $AUTOUSER
2. vi the eiam.server.config file change sockettimeout: 120000 to 240000 or higher
3. Then perform safex using this type of syntax: safex -h -u -p XXXXXX -f -sdkconfig /opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/autouser.ACE/eiam.server.config

Or use the eiamadmin user when working with safex as it is treated differently, requiring only one check.
