3.4.10 Get file/directory size

Description

This operation component obtains the size of a file or directory.

Options

Basic Options

(1) hostname

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.

(2) filename

The name (full path) of the file/directory used for the obtained file/directory size.

An argument error occurs if the file name or directory name is omitted.

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

Advanced Options

(1) sizeunit

The unit used for the obtained file/directory size.

Specify "B", "KB" or "MB".

If this option is omitted, it will be set to "KB". This option is not case sensitive.

(2) ostype

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.

(3) username

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.

(4) password

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.

(5) execusername

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.

(6) execpassword

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

(7) timeout

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.

(8) retry

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

(9) retry_interval

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.

Return Values

Icon

Name

Return value

Description

Success

0

The size of a file or directory has been obtained successfully.

Failure

161

An attempt to obtain the size of a file or directory failed. If a retry count has been specified, retries will be attempted.

177

An attempt to access a file or directory failed.

187

Authentication failed when an attempt was made to connect to the Business Server over the network (using SSH).

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the Business Server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.

188

When an operation component was performing an operation on a Business Server where an RBA Agent has not been installed, an SSH network connection with the Business Server has been closed.

189

An attempt to connect to the Business Server over the network (using SSH) failed.

Alternatively, an error occurred during the processing of communications with the Business Server (file transfer infrastructure). In this case, the error code for the file transfer infrastructure is output to the execution results. Refer to "3.21 Detailed Code of File Transfer Infrastructure" for information on error codes.

197

There is an error with the input information.

198

There is an error with an option specification.

200

Obtaining the size of a file or directory has terminated abnormally.

-

-

201

Execution of the operation component timed out.

202

The operation component has not been executed. There is a problem with the settings for executing the operation component.

203

The operation component has not been executed normally. There is a problem with the Management Server environment.

205

The operation component has not been executed. There is a problem with the input information specification of the operation component.
