Introduction
- The JS7 offers to perform operations on Controllers and Agents by use of the JS7 - REST Web Service API.
- For detailed information see the Technical Documentation of the REST Web Service API.
- For available CLI operations see JS7 - Unix Shell Command Line Interface.
- The REST Web Service API can be accessed from Shell utilities such as
curl
. - In addition, a PowerShell module is available for simplified access to the REST Web Service API. This is described in the JS7 - PowerShell Module article.
The Controller Deployment Script offered for Unix Shell can be applied to perform frequently used deployment operations on Controllers and Agents.
Use of a Controller Cluster or Agent Cluster is subject to the JS7 - License.

The script is offered for download and can be applied for frequently used deployment operations:
- The script is available for Linux and MacOS® using bash shell.
- The script terminates with exit code 0 to signal successful execution, with exit code 1 for command line argument errors and with exit code 4 for non-recoverable errors. Exit code 3 signals that no matching objects have been found.
- The script is intended as a baseline example for customization by JS7 users and by SOS within the scope of professional services. Examples make use of JS7 Release 2.7.2, bash 4.2, curl 7.29.0 and jq 1.6.0.
Prerequisites
The Script requires the curl utility and the jq utility to be available from the operating system.
jq ships with the MIT license, see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Commands
register
- Allows registering a Controller. The command comes in two flavors:
- register a Standalone Controller using the
--primary-url
option. - register a Controller Cluster using the
--primary-url
and--secondary-url
options.
- register a Standalone Controller using the
- The URLs specify the protocol, host and optionally port by which the Controller instance can be accessed from JOC Cockpit, for example
http://localhost:4444
. - Controller instances are assigned a Controller ID on installation. When registering the Controller it will automatically use the given Controller ID.
- Allows registering a Controller. The command comes in two flavors:
unregister
- Allows unregistering a Controller specifying the
--controller-id
option. Unregistering a Controller deletes the Controller and related Agents from the inventory
- Allows unregistering a Controller specifying the
- check
- Tests the connection between JOC Cockpit and a Controller instance. The operation is available before a Controller is registered.
- The
--controller-url
must be specified that is used from JOC Cockpit to connect to the Controller.
store-agent
When Agents are stored, then they are added or updated in the inventory and are set to the not deployed status. The command comes in two flavors:
- store Standalone Agent: requires to specify the
--controller-id
and--agent-id
options that specify the unique identifier of an Agent. The Agent ID cannot be changed later on. The--agent-name
option specifies the unique name of an Agent that can be changed later on. The--agent-url
option specifies the protocol, host and optionally port by which the Agent can be accessed from the Controller.. - store Agent Cluster: requires to specify the
--controller-id
,--agent-id
and--agent-name
options. An Agent Cluster includes a Primary and Secondary Director Agent.- The Primary Director Agent is specified from the
--primary-subagent-id

options to identify the related Agent.
deploy-agent
- When Agents are deployed, then the Agent configuration will be made available to the Controller which connects to the related Agent. As a prerequisite for deployment the Agent must be up & running and must be reachable for the Controller to establish a connection. The same applies to Subagents that have been added to an Agent Cluster using the
store-subagent
command. - The command is used with the

deploy-agent
command. - The command is used with the
--controller-id
and--agent-id
options which identify the Agent Cluster. The--subagent-id
and--subagent-url
options specify the unique identifier of a Subagent and its URL.

store-cluster
- Subagent Clusters implement clustering from the selection of the Subagents involved and from the scheduling mode being active-passive (fixed-priority) or active-active (round-robin).
- To store a Subagent Cluster users specify the
--controller-id
and--agent-id
options that identify the Agent Cluster. The--cluster-id
option specifies the unique identifier of the cluster to be created. The--subagent-id
option specifies one or more Subagents spearated by comma that are used in the cluster. For an active-passive cluster the first Subagent specified will execute the jobs and if it becomes unavailable then the next Subagent will be used. - The

Examples
The following examples illustrate use cases for automated deployment of Controller and Agents.
Registering, Checking and Unregistering Controller
Controller instances are assigned a Controller ID on installation. When registering the Controller it will be registered with the given Controller ID.
Users can register a Controller from its URL. Users can check if the connection between JOC Cockpit and Controller can be established. Unregistering a Controller deletes the Controller and related Agents from the inventory
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root) # register Standalone Controller ./deploy-controller.sh register "${request_options[@]}" \ --primary-url=http://localhost:4444 --primary-title="Standalone Controller" # check Standalone Controller Connection ./deploy-controller.sh check "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4444 # unregister Standalone Controller ./deploy-controller.sh unregister "${request_options[@]}" --controller-id=controller
In a Controller Cluster both Controller instances are installed using the same Controller ID.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root) # register Controller Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh register "${request_options[@]}" \ --primary-url=http://localhost:4544 --primary-title="Primary Controller" \ --secondary-url=http://localhost:4644 --secondary-title="Secondary Controller" # check Controller Cluster Connections ./deploy-controller.sh check "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4544 ./deploy-controller.sh check "${request_options[@]}" --controller-url=http://localhost:4644 # unregister Controller Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh unregister "${request_options[@]}" --controller-id=controller
Storing, Deploying, Revoking and Deleting Agents
Storing and Deploying Agents
When Agents are stored, then they are added or updated in the inventory and are set to the not deployed status.
When Agents are deployed, then the Agent configuration will be made available to the Controller which connects to the related Agent. As a prerequisite for deployment the Agent must be up & running and must be reachable for the Controller to establish a connection. The same applies to Subagents that have been added to an Agent Cluster using the store-subagent

An Agent Cluster includes the Primary and Secondary Director Agents. As a prerequisite for deployment the Director Agents must be up & running and must be reachable for the Controller to establish a connection.

Revoking and Deleting Agents
When Agents are revoked, then they will be deleted from the Controller. The Agent configuration remains in place with the inventory and will be set to the not deployed status.
When Agents are deleted, then they will be deleted from the Controller and from the inventory.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # revoke Standalone Agent ./deploy-controller.sh revoke-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent # delete Standalone Agent ./deploy-controller.sh delete-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=StandaloneAgent
Revoking an Agent Cluster includes to revoke the Subagents and Subagent Clusters from the Controller using a single operation.
Deleting an Agent Cluster wipes the Agent configuration from both Controller and inventory.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # revoke Agent Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh revoke-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster --cluster # delete Agent Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh delete-agent "${request_options[@]}" --agent-id=AgentCluster
Storing and Deleting Subagents
When Subagents are stored, then they are added or updated in the inventory and will be set to the not deployed status.
Subagents are not deployed individually. Instead, they are deployed with the Agent Cluster using the deploy-agent
command.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # store Subagents ./deploy-controller.sh store-subagent "${request_options[@]}" \ --agent-id=AgentCluster --subagent-id=Subagent_01 \ --subagent-url=http://localhost:4745 --title="Subagent 01" ./deploy-controller.sh store-subagent "${request_options[@]}" \ --agent-id=AgentCluster --subagent-id=Subagent_02 \ --subagent-url=http://localhost:4845 --title="Subagent 02" # delete Subagents ./deploy-controller.sh delete-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_01 ./deploy-controller.sh delete-subagent "${request_options[@]}" --subagent-id=Subagent_02
Storing, Deploying, Revoking and Deleting Subagent Clusters
Storing and Deploying Subagent Clusters
When Subagent Clusters are stored, then they are added or updated in the inventory and will be set to the not deployed status.
When Subagent Clusters are deployed, then the cluster configuration will be made available to the Agent Cluster.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # store active-passive (fixed-priority) Subagent Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh store-cluster "${request_options[@]}" \ --agent-id=AgentCluster --cluster-id=active-passive \ --subagent-id=Subagent_01,Subagent_02 --priority=first --title="Active-Passive Cluster" # store active-active (round-robin) Subagent Cluster ./deploy-controller.sh store-cluster "${request_options[@]}" \ --agent-id=AgentCluster --cluster-id=active-active \ --subagent-id=Subagent_01,Subagent_02 --priority=next --title="Active-Active Cluster" # deploy Subagent Clusters ./deploy-controller.sh deploy-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-passive ./deploy-controller.sh deploy-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-active
Revoking and Deleting Subagent Clusters
When Subagent Clusters are revoked, then they are deleted from the Agent Cluster. The cluster configuration remains in place with the inventory and will be set to the not deployed status.
When Subagent Clusters are deleted, then they are deleted from the Agent Cluster and from the inventory.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # revoke Subagent Clusters ./deploy-controller.sh revoke-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-passive ./deploy-controller.sh revoke-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-active # delete Subagent Clusters ./deploy-controller.sh delete-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-passive ./deploy-controller.sh delete-cluster "${request_options[@]}" --cluster-id=active-active
Exporting and Importing Agents
Agent configurations can be exported to an archive file. They can be imported, for example when setting up next JS7 environments.
For import users can specify that existing Agent configurations with the same name should be overwritten.
# common options for connection to JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # export Agents from their Agent ID ./deploy-controller.sh export-agent "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export_agents.zip --agent-id=StandaloneAgent,AgentCluster # import Agents ./deploy-controller.sh import-agent "${request_options[@]}" --file=export_agents.zip
Using encrypted Passwords
- Secrets can be encrypted and decrypted as explaind with JS7 - Encryption and Decryption.
- Encryption/decryption require related Java libraries that are available from the
./lib
sub-directory. - For creation of a Private Key and Certificate see JS7 - How to create X.509 Encryption Keys.
# create Private Key openssl ecparam -name secp384r1 -genkey -noout -out encrypt.key # create Certificate Signing Request, adjust the subject to your needs openssl req -new -sha512 -nodes -key encrypt.key -out encrypt.csr -subj "/C=DE/ST=Berlin/L=Berlin/O=SOS/OU=IT/CN=Encrypt" # create Certificate, adjust the validity period to your needs openssl x509 -req -sha512 -days 1825 -signkey encrypt.key -in encrypt.csr -out encrypt.crt -extfile <(printf "keyUsage=critical,keyEncipherment,keyAgreement\n") # encrypt the password "root" using the Certificate, the encryption result will be returned and will look like: enc:BEXbHYa... MY_JS7_PASSWORD=$(./deploy-controller.sh encrypt --in="root" --cert=encrypt.crt) # store the environment variable to your profile ($HOME/.bash_profile or similar) to make the encrypted password available to the shell # export MY_JS7_PASSWORD=enc:BEXbHYa... # options for connection to the JS7 REST API can specify the encryption result as password and the Private Key for decryption request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password="$MY_JS7_PASSWORD" --key=encrypt.key --controller-id=controller) # for example, when exporting Agents the Private Key is used to decrypt the password on-the-fly for access to the REST API ./deploy-controller.sh export-agent "${request_options[@]}" --file=export_agents.zip --agent-id=StandaloneAgent,AgentCluster
