If you cannot develop an Automated Operation Process using the following two types of operation components, develop new operation components:
Operation components provided by the product
Operation components that have already been developed
In Systemwalker Runbook Automation Studio, developed operation components are used as operation component nodes.
Languages that can be used
When creating operation components, create script files written in either of the following languages:
Ruby
Perl
Development method
Create a script file using an environment such as an external Ruby development environment or Perl development environment, or by using the text editor.
In the script file, write the script that is used below.
Libraries provided by the product
These libraries are program components (Ruby script or Perl script) that can be used from within operation components and that have been grouped together by purpose or function.
Note
A library provided by the product cannot be used as an operation component.
Character code
The character code used when a script is executed will be the character code set in the Systemwalker Runbook Automation operating environment.
The character code used for the input and output information of a script will be UTF-8. When you are using a library which performs extraction of input information, the input information will be converted according to the operating environment in the library. When you want to output the results to standard output or standard error output, you must set up character strings that have been converted to UTF-8.
Common functions
Timeout and retry of the execution of operation components are common functions of operation components that can be enabled.
Defining the options shown below will enable these extended options for input information.
Timeout of the execution of operation components
Name | Data type | Minimum value | Maximum value |
|---|---|---|---|
Timeout | INTEGER | 300 | 86400 |
Retry of the execution of operation components
Name | Data type | Minimum value | Maximum value |
|---|---|---|---|
Retry | INTEGER | 0 | 5 |
retry_interval | INTEGER | 1 | 14400 |
Input information
Configure the values specified in the operation component input information in an XML format input information file and pass as arguments when executing the operation component. Use the library for extracting input information (input information library) to extract the input information from the input information file of the operation component.
When configuring the hostname option as input information for the operation component, the input information library passes the following information as input information. For the searched Configuration Management Database (CMDB), refer to the "2.1.7 Registering Connection Information to Operation Target Servers".
Option name | Description |
|---|---|
hostname | If the IP address is specified in the hostname option, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for the specified value and pass the retrieved host name. If the host name is specified in the hostname option, pass the specified host name. |
ipaddress | If the host name is specified in the hostname option, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for the specified value and pass the retrieved IP address. If the IP address is specified in the hostname option, pass this IP address. |
ostype | Pass the value below if the ostype option has not been configured as input information for the operation component, or if the value of ostype option has been omitted altogether.
If a value is specified in the ostype option, pass this value. |
username | If one of the conditions below is satisfied, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for either the host name or IP address specified in the hostname option and pass the retrieved connection user name.
or
If a value is specified in either the username option, pass the value specified in the username option. If the value of user option has been omitted and the value of password option is specified, the connection user name will be nil. |
password | If one of the conditions below is satisfied, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for either the host name or IP address specified in the hostname option and the pass retrieved the connection user password.
or
If a value is specified in the password option, pass the connection user password specified in the password option. If the value of password option has been omitted and the value of username option is specified, the connection user password will be nil. |
execusername | If one of the conditions below is satisfied, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for either the host name or IP address specified in the hostname option and pass the retrieved executed user name.
or
If a value is specified in either the execusername option, pass the executed user name specified in the execusername option. If the value of execusername option has been omitted and the value of execpassword option is specified, the executed user name will be nil. |
execpassword | If one of the conditions below is satisfied, search the Configuration Management Database (CMDB) for either the host name or IP address specified in the hostname option and pass the retrieved executed user password.
or
If a value is specified in the execpassword option, pass the executed user password specified in the execpassword option. If the value of execpassword option has been omitted and the value of execusername option is specified, the executed user password will be nil. |
native_hostname | Pass the value specified in the hostname option. |
Note
Ensure the name options below are not set in the input information when configuring the hostname option as input information of the operation component. These options value can be used the value passed from input information library with setting hostname option as input information of the operation component.
ipaddress option
native_hostname option
