The script is offered for download and can be applied for frequently used deployment operationsdeployment 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.

  • export
    • Allows to export objects such as workflows to an archive file in .zip or .tar.gz format. The command comes in two flavors:
      • export individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
        • Should relative paths be used in the archive file then the --start-folder option and --use-short-path switch can be applied.
      • export objects from folders using the --folder option and --recursive switch.
        • Optionally one or more object types can be specified and otherwise all objects will be exported, see --type option.
        • Should relative paths be used in the archive file then the  --use-short-path switch can be applied.
        • Export of objects can further be limited by use of the --no-* switches, see section Switches.
    • The archive file is specified from the --file and --format options.
    • If JOC Cockpit is operated for the High Security Level then the --for-signing switch can be used to export Controller Objects that should be digitally signed. Objects and signatures can be imported using the import-deploy command.
  • import
    • Imports an archive file to the inventory. The operation applies to use of JOC Cockpit with the Low and Medium Security Level.
    • Users can specify if existing objects will be overwritten or if duplicate objects from the import file will be assigned a prefix or suffix or will be ignored.
  • import-deploy
    • Imports an archive file to the inventory and deploys the included objects. The operation is applicable if JOC Cockpit is operated for the High Security Level.
      • As a prerequisite the archive file must be exported using the --for-signing switch.
      • Workflows and Job Resources from the archive file are digitally signed by the user. Signature files are added to the archive file.
    • On import the objects in the archive file are deployed to related Controllers as specified during export.
  • deploy
    • Allows to deploy Controller Objects such as workflows. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • deploy individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • deploy objects from folders using the --folder option and --recursive switch.
    • Deploying objects forwards them to Controllers and Agents.
      • More than one Controller ID can be specified like this: --controller-id=controller-uat-1,controller-uat-2
  • revoke
    • Allows to undeploy Controller Objects such as workflows. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • revoke individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • revoke objects from folders using the --folder option and --recursive switch.
    • Revoking Controller objects deletes them from the Controller and Agents, objects remain in draft status in the inventory.
      • More than one Controller ID can be specified like this: --controller-id=controller-uat-1,controller-uat-2
  • release
    • Allows to release Automation Objects such as schedules. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • release individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • release objects from folders using the --folder option and --recursive switch.
    • Releasing objects activates them for example for use by the Daily Plan.
  • recall
    • Allows to unrelease Automation Objects such as schedules. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • recall individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • recall objects from folders using the --folder option and --recursive switch.
    • Recalling objects deactivates them from further use, objects remain in draft status in the inventory.
  • store
    • Allows to store an object such as a workflow or schedule from a file to the inventory.
      • The --file option specifies the file that holds the JSON representation of an object.
      • The --type option specifies the object type. 
      • The --path option specifies the folders and object name of the objects inventory location.
    • Objects are stored to the inventory in draft status and can be deployed or released using the related commands.
  • remove
    • Allows to remove objects such as workflows or schedules from the inventory. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • remove individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • remove objects from folders recursively using the --folder option.
    • Controller objects such as workflows are removed from the Controller and from the inventory. Automation objects such as schedules are removed from the inventory.
    • Removing objects moves them to the trash from which they can be restored or deleted
  • restore
    • Allows to restore objects such as workflows or schedules from the trash. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • restore individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • restore objects from folders recursively using the --folder option.
    • Restoring objects moves them from the trash to the inventory from which they can be deployed or released.
  • delete
    • Allows to delete objects such as workflows or schedules from the trash. The command can be used in two flavors:
      • delete individual objects specified by the --path and --type options.
      • delete objects from folders recursively using the --folder option.
    • Deleting objects will permanently wipe them from the trash.
  • revalidate
    • Allows to revalildate objects such as workflows or schedules from the inventory, for example after import. The command can be used for inventory folders.

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.
    • 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.
  • unregister
    • Allows unregistering a Controller specifying the --controller-id option. Unregistering a Controller deletes the Controller and related Agents from the inventory
  • 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 and --primary-url options that are used similarly to above --agent-id and --agent-url options.
        • The Secondary Director Agent is specified from the --secondary-subagent-id and --secondary-url options that are used similarly to above --agent-id and --agent-url options.
    • The deploy-agent command can be used to deploy the Agent configuration.
  • delete-agent
    • When Agents are deleted, then they will be deleted from the Controller and from the inventory.
    • Deletion of Agents will be denied by the Controller if we find deployed workflows that hold jobs assigned the Standalone Agent or related Subagent Cluster of an Agent Cluster. The JS7 - Unix Shell CLI for Workflow Deployment offers commands to revoke related workflows.
    • The command is used with the --controller-id and --agent-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 --controller-id and --agent-id options to identify the related Agent. For deployment of an Agent Cluster the --cluster switch must be used.
  • revoke-agent
    • When Agents are revoked then the Agent configuration is deleted from the Controller, but remains in place with the inventory and will be set to the not deployed status.
    • Revocation of Agents will be denied by the Controller if we find deployed workflows that hold jobs assigned the Standalone Agent or related Subagent Cluster of an Agent Cluster. The JS7 - Unix Shell CLI for Workflow Deployment offers commands to revoke related workflows.

  • store-subagent
    • Subagents are used in an Agent Cluster acting as worker nodes to execute jobs. 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.
    • 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.

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

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 command.

  • For creation of a Private Key and Certificate see JS7 - How to create X.509 Encryption Keys
  • 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.
