Operation components perform processing using the following procedure:
Inputting to operation component
The name of the file that stores the input information required to execute an operation component (input information file) is received as an argument when the operation component is executed.
The input information file is an XML format file.
The file name is received as an absolute path.
Obtaining the input information required for executing the operation component
Within the operation component, the input information library is used to extract input information from the input information file.
The character code of the input information file is UTF-8.
Executing the operation component
The input information is used to perform the processing required by the operation component.
The operation component will be executed on the Management Server. If you want to execute processing on a remote server, you must create a process for executing processing remotely.
Outputting the execution results of the operation component
The execution results of the operation component consist of return values, standard output, and standard error output.
The character code of standard output and standard error output is converted to UTF-8 for output.
Standard output can be used as input information for processing performed by the next operation component.
Standard error output can be used for maintaining the execution results of the operation component.
