1.2.5 Consider which communication method to use

Determine which communication method to use based on the methods supported by the operation components to be used.

SSH

SSH is an abbreviation for Secure Shell. Almost all operation components support SSH. If the Systemwalker Runbook Automation Agent has not been installed on the operation target server or file transfer infrastructure has stopped, then communication will be executed using SSH. If the operation target server is running Windows, then it will be necessary to install and set up SSH.

Windows PowerShell [Windows]

It can be used by specifying Windows PowerShell as the method of communication with the operation target server. Windows PowerShell 2.0 or later must be installed and set up in the Management Server and operation target server.

Telnet

Telnet is supported through the operation components "Execute arbitrary command" and "Execute multiple commands". It can be used by specifying Telnet as the method of communication with the operation target server. Telnet must be installed and set up in the operation target server.

RSH and REXEC

These are short for Remote Shell and Remote Process Execution, respectively. Both are supported through the operation component "Execute arbitrary command". They can be used by specifying RSH and REXEC as the methods of communication with the operation target server. RSH and REXEC must be installed and set up in the operation target server.
