Description
This operation component obtains a list of files and directories under a specific directory.
Options
Basic Options
Target host name or IP address where the operation component will be executed.
To execute the operation component on 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 host name or IP address is omitted.
The maximum length of the host name or IP address is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.
The name (full path) of the directory used for the obtained file/directory list.
An argument error occurs if the directory name is omitted.
The maximum length of the directory name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.
Advanced Options
This is the display type ("display or do not display file "or "display or do not display directory") used for the obtained file/directory list.
If "file" is specified, a list of all the files is obtained.
If "directory" is specified, a list of all the directories is obtained.
If "all" is specified, a list of all (files and directories) is obtained.
If this option is omitted, it will be set to "all". This option is not case sensitive.
This is the obtain type ("display or do not display hidden files" or "display or do not display hidden directories") used for the file/directory list.
If "on" is specified, hidden files/directories will be included in the list.
If "off" is specified, hidden files/directories will not be included in the list.
If nothing was specified, the setting will be "off". This option is not case sensitive.
Operating system of the host executing the operation component.
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.
This is the name of the user that uses SSH to connect to the target host where the operation component is to be executed.
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. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.
This is the password of the user that uses SSH to connect to the target host where the operation component is to be executed.
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 password as the value.
If it connects with the file transfer infrastructure, the connected user password is invalid.
The maximum length of the connected user password is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.
This is the name of the user that executes the command on the target host where the operation component is to be executed.
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 an administrator user has not been registered with the CMDB, the command will be executed using the name of the connected user.
If the host specified in "hostname" is running on Windows and the connection is made using the file transfer infrastructure, execute the command as a SYSTEM user. In this case, the user name is ignored even if specified.
The maximum length of the executing user name is 1,024 characters. An argument error occurs if this is exceeded.
This operation component does not use the value of "execpassword". The value of "execpassword" is ignored even if specified.
This is the completion timeout (seconds) for the execution of operation components.
Values between 300 and 86400 (1 day) can be specified.
Example) If the completion timeout is 10 minutes: 600
If the operation component has not finished executing even though the specified time has passed, the processing for the operation component will be interrupted with return value 201.
This is the retry count for the execution of operation components.
Specify the number of retry attempts to be used when operation components terminate with return value 161. Values between 0 and 5 can be specified.
If an operation component terminates with a return value other than "161" as a result of being re-executed from a retry, execution of the operation component will terminate even if the specified number of retries has not been reached. The return value for the operation component will be the value from the last time the operation component was executed.
Example) To retry the operation component twice: 2
This is the retry interval (seconds) for operation components.
Specify the time to wait before a retry is attempted if operation components terminate with return value 161. Values between 1 and 14400 can be specified.
Example) To retry at 300 second intervals: 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.

Notes
If information other than the Management Server is entered for the "hostname" option, this operation component will execute actions using either the file transfer infrastructure or SSH. Specify settings so that communications can be performed using at least one of these methods. Refer to "3.16 Notes of Each Communication Method" for information on communication methods.
Refer to "3.16.7 Notes When Connected User And Executing User Are Different" for information on different connected and executing users.
For the directory for which a list of files and directories is to be obtained, use only alphanumeric characters and white space and full width characters, and the symbols below:
Symbols that can be used: "!" "~" "_" "-" "."
If the specified directoryname is a symbolic link, the list of files/directories under the linked directory will be obtained.
Use the Web console to check the return value. Refer to "Confirming the Operation Component Execution Status/Execution Results" in the Systemwalker Runbook Automation Operation Guide for details.
If a return value between 201 and 208 has been output, the Automated Operation Process will enter an aborted state or an error state, and error messages will be output to the following locations:
Event logs for the Management Server (if the Management Server is running on Windows(R))
syslogs for the Management Server (if the Management Server is running on Linux)
Custom messages for BPMN
