Basic Options

(1) hostname

To change the access permission the Management Server, specify the following:

  • For IPv4: 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'

  • For IPv6: 'localhost' or '::1'

An argument error occurs if the file name is omitted.

The maximum length of the file name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(3) ownerauthority

Access permission content of the owner of the file to be changed.

Specify execute permission (X), read (R), write (W), or cancel all permissions (C).

Multiple access permissions can be specified.

Specify access permissions as follows:

Permissions content must be entered using the letters shown above and in the shown order.

An argument error will occur if any other value for permissions content is specified.

If the access permissions for a file are changed using the file transfer infrastructure and the file is in a Windows environment, the file attributes are changed.

If the access permissions for a file are to be changed on an environment where the OS type is Windows, the attribute of the file is changed.

An argument error occurs if the content of access permissions is omitted.

The maximum length of access permissions content is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

If the access permissions for a file are to be changed on an environment where the OS type is Windows, the specified content is invalid.

An argument error occurs if the content of access permissions is omitted.

The maximum length of access permissions content is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

Permissions content must be entered using the letters shown above and in the shown order.

An argument error will occur if any other value for permissions content is specified.

If the access permissions for a file are to be changed on an environment where the OS type is Windows, the specified content is invalid.

An argument error occurs if the content of access permissions is omitted.

The maximum length of access permissions content is 1,024 bytes. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

Advanced Options

(1) ostype

OS type of the host changing file access permissions.

Specify Windows, Linux or Solaris. This option is not case sensitive.

If the OS type is omitted, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) will be searched based on the specified host name or IP address, and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired OS type as the value.

The maximum length of the OS type is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(2) username

Name of the user connecting with SSH to the host where the file whose access permissions are to be changed resides.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired connected user name as the value.

If the operation component connects with the file transfer infrastructure, the connected user name will be fixed at either of the following names and cannot be changed. In this case, the user name is ignored even if specified.

  • If the Business Server is running on Windows: SYSTEM user

  • If the Business Server is running on Linux or Solaris: root

The maximum length of the connected user name is 1,024 characters. Argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(3) password

Password of the user connecting with SSH to the host where the file whose access permissions are to be changed resides.

If the connected user name and password required for connection are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired connected user name as the value.

If it connects with file transfer infrastructure, the connected user password is invalid.

The maximum length of the connected user password is 1,024 characters. Argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(4) execusername

Name of the user changing access permissions on the host where the file whose access permissions are to be changed resides.

If the "execusername" and "execpassword" are not specified, the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) is searched based on the specified host name or IP address and Systemwalker Runbook Automation automatically sets the acquired administrator user as the value.

If not to register to CMDB, it is executed by name of the user connecting.

If the host specified in "hostname" is Windows and it connects with the file transfer infrastructure, execute the command as a SYSTEM user. In this case, the connected user name is invalid.

The maximum length of the user name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.

(5) execpassword

This operation component does not use the value of "execpassword". The value of "execpassword" is ignored even if specified.

(6) timeout

This is the completion timeout (seconds) for the execution of operation components.

Values between 300 and 86400 (1 day) can be specified.

For example: When timeout is to occur every 10 minutes: 600

When the execution of the operation components is not completed even if the specified time passes, the processing of the operation components is interrupted in return value 201.

(7) retry

This is the retry count for the execution of operation components.

When the operation components end in return value 161, the retry count is specified. Values between 0 and 5 can be specified.

As a result of retrying, if the operation components ended by the return values other than 161, the execution of the operation components ends even if it doesn't reach the specified retry count. The return values of the operation components become the value executed at the end.

For example: When retries are to be performed twice: 2

(8) retry_interval

This is the retry interval (seconds) for operation components.

When the operation components end in return value 161, the retry interval is specified. Values between 1 and 14400 can be specified.

For example: When retrying in 300 seconds: 300


If the specification of the timeout, retry, and retry_interval is omitted, and a value beyond the limits of the above-mentioned is input, the value specified with the operation components definition file becomes effective. Refer to "2.5 Definition File for Operation Components" for details.

There is an error in the input information.

200

Changing access permissions of the file terminated abnormally.
