Introduction
- The JS7 offers to perform operations on orders, workflows, jobs and related objects by 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 Workflow Deployment Script offered for Unix Shell can be applied to perform frequently used deployment operations.
Workflow Deployment Script
Command | Object | Documentation |
---|---|---|
export / import | Any | JS7 - Inventory Export and Import |
sign import-deploy | Controller objects such as Workflows | JS7 - Secure Deployment of Scheduling Objects |
deploy / revoke | JS7 - Deployment of Scheduling Objects | |
release / recall | Automation objects such as Schedules | |
store / remove | Any | Store object to inventory / move objects to trash |
restore / delete | Any | Restore removed objects / delete removed objects from trash |
revalidate | Any | Revalidate objects from inventory folder |
encrypt / decrypt | None | JS7 - Encryption and Decryption |
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.

Examples
The following examples illustrate typical use cases.
Exporting Objects
- Objects can be exported to an archive file in .zip or .tar.gz format.
- Users can export individual objects from their path and object type. Alternatively, objects can be exported by folders, optionally limited to specific object types.
Examples for Exporting Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # export workflows ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --path=/ap/ap3jobs,/ap/Agent/apRunAsUser --type=WORKFLOW # export draft schedules ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --path=/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule01,/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule02 --type=SCHEDULE --no-released # export objects from folder ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --folder=/ap --recursive # export objects from folder using relative path ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --folder=/ap/Agent --recursive --use-short-path # export objects from folder, limiting object types and validity, feeding audit log ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --folder=/ap --recursive --type=WORKFLOW,JOBRESOURCE --no-invalid --audit-message="export to production"
Importing Objects
- Previously exported objects can be imported, for example from a non-production environment to a production environment.
- For import users can specify that existing objects with the same name and type should be overwritten. In addition, users can specify a prefix or suffix to be added to the name of imported objects.
- On export users can specify to apply the absolute or relative path of objects when creating the archive file.
- On import users can accept the path of imported objects as given with the archive file. Alternatively, users can specify a top-level folder hierarchy to which paths from objects in the archive file will be added.
Examples for Importing Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # import objects ./deploy-workflow.sh import "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --overwrite # import objects to a new top-level folder and apply suffix ./deploy-workflow.sh import "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --folder=/Version22 --suffix=v22 # revalidate objects from folder ./deploy-workflow.sh revalidate "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/Version22 --recursive
Exporting, Signing and Importing/Deploying for High Security Level
- For deployment of Controller Objects the JS7 High Security Level requires digital signing outside of JOC Cockpit in order to securely apply the user's Private Key. To this purpose the
import-deploy
command is used. For deployment in Low or Medium Security Level thedeploy
command is used.- Digital signing includes that based on the user's Private Key and Certificate signature files are created that have to be added to the archive file for later import & deployment.
- The steps to import and to deploy are available from a single operation to prevent tampering of objects after import.
- There are a number of ways how to perform signing. The recommended solution is use of the
js7_sign_workflow.sh
script as explained from the JS7 - Signing Workflows with X.509 Certificates using Unix Shell Script article. The below example explains the steps to export, to sign and to import/deploy objects.
Example for Exporting, Signing and Importing/Deploying for High Security Level
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # export objects from folder for signing ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=export.zip --folder=/myFolder --recursive --for-signing # digitally sign objects mkdir -p ./temp rm -fr ./temp/* unzip -d ./temp ./export.zip ./deploy-workflow.sh sign \ --directory=./temp --key=ecdsa.key --cert=ecdsa.crt --hash=sha512 rm -f ./import-from-signing.zip cd ./temp zip -r ../import-from-signing.zip * cd - # import/deploy objects ./deploy-workflow.sh import-deploy "${request_options[@]}" \ --file=import-from-signing.zip
Deploying and Revoking Objects
- Controller Objects are visible in the inventory from the Controller system folder, for example workflows, job resources etc.
- Such objects are in draft status after modification by the user. Deploying such objects makes them available to Controllers & Agents and sets them to the deployed status.
- Deployed objects can be revoked which withdraws the objects from Controller & Agents and sets them to the draft status.
Examples for Deploying and Revoking Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # deploy workflows and update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh deploy "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/ap3jobs,/ap/apEnv --type=WORKFLOW --date-from=now # deploy objects from folder recursively and update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh deploy "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/Agent --recursive --date-from=now # revoke workflows ./deploy-workflow.sh revoke "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/ap3jobs,/ap/apEnv --type=WORKFLOW # revoke objects from folder ./deploy-workflow.sh revoke "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/Agent --recursive
Releasing and Recalling Objects
- Automation Objects are visible in the inventory from the Automation system folder, for example calendars, schedules etc.
- Such objects are in draft status after modification by the user. Releasing such objects activates them and sets them to the released status.
- Released objects can be recalled which deactivates the objects and sets them to the draft status.
Examples for Releasing and Recalling Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # release schedules and update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh release "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule01,/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule02 --type=SCHEDULE --date-from=now # release objects from folder and update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh release "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/Agent --recursive --date-from=now # recall schedules ./deploy-workflow.sh recall "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule01,/ap/Agent/apAgentSchedule02 --type=SCHEDULE # recall objects from folder ./deploy-workflow.sh recall "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/Agent --recursive
Storing and Removing Objects
- Objects can be added to the inventory from files in JSON format related to the object type such as a workflow, schedule. Newly added objects are set to draft status.
- Objects can be removed from the inventory which will move them to the trash from which they can be restored or deleted.
Examples for Storing and Removing Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # store object ./deploy-workflow.sh store "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/NewFolder01/NewWorkflow01 --type=WORKFLOW --file=NewWorkflow01.workflow.json # remove object, update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh remove "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/NewFolder01/NewWorkflow01 --type=WORKFLOW --date-from=now # remove objects from folder, update daily plan ./deploy-workflow.sh remove "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/NewFolder01 --date-from=now
Restoring and Deleting Objects
- Objects that have previously been removed reside in the trash.
- Objects can be restored or can be permanently deleted from the trash.
- To restore objects from the trash the path, object type and new path in the inventory must be specified. Optionally a prefix or suffix can be added to restored object names. Restored objects are set to draft status.
- To permanently delete objects from the trash they can be specified from their path & object type or from a folder.
Examples for Restoring and Deleting Objects
# common options for connection to the JS7 REST API request_options=(--url=http://localhost:4446 --user=root --password=root --controller-id=controller) # restore object from trash, using suffix for restored objectd ./deploy-workflow.sh restore "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/NewFolder01/NewWorkflow01 --type=WORKFLOW --new-path=/ap/NewFolder01/NewWorkflow01 --suffix=restored # delete object from trash ./deploy-workflow.sh delete "${request_options[@]}" \ --path=/ap/NewFolder01/NewWorkflow01 --type=WORKFLOW # delete objects from trash by folder ./deploy-workflow.sh delete "${request_options[@]}" \ --folder=/ap/NewFolder01
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.
Example for Use of encrypted Password
# 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=$(./deploy-workflow.sh encrypt --in="root" --cert=encrypt.crt) # store the environment variable to your profile ($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="$MY_JS7_PASSWORD" --key=encrypt.key --controller-id=controller) # for example, when exporting workflows the Private Key is used to decrypt the password for access to the REST API on-the-fly ./deploy-workflow.sh export "${request_options[@]}" --file=export.zip --path=/ap/ap3jobs,/ap/Agent/apRunAsUser --type=WORKFLOW
