  • From the list of available job templates select the SetJobResourceJob.

Then hit the "Next" button to make the job wizard display available arguments:

Image RemovedImage Added


Explanation:

  • There are optional arguments for this job to identify the controller Controller to which the Job Resource should be deployed:
    • The default Controller is the controller one that is actually currently selected by the user that performs the login.
  • Select the check box provided with each argument if you want this argument to be added to the arguments of the SetJobResource SetJobResourceJob template.

When hitting the Submit button the wizard adds the required arguments to the job which should look like this:

...

NameRequiredDefault ValuePurposeExample
job_resourceyes
The path to the Job Resource that should be created or updated. Both specification of a path and specification of the name can be used./resources/my_vars

key

yes

The name of the variable in the Job Resource (case-sensitive).

var1
value

yes

(one of file or value is required.)


The value of the variable:

  • The value allows any strings, numbers etc.
  • A special syntax is supported for date values: [<java-date-pattern>]:
    • for example [dd/MM/yyyy], [yyyy-MM-dd], [yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss], [yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ssZ]
    • The Java date pattern will by replaced by the job for the current date and time value. 

file

yes

(one of file or value is required.)


The name of a file:

The content of the file will be used as value in the job resource. The content is stored with to_file(). Additionally the variable key_nameofkey where nameofkey is the value of the parameter key is stored with encrypted symmetric key, initialization vector and path to encrypted file separated by space. The encrypted file is a temporary file created during the encryption. The values are needed for decoding:

  • The encrypted symmetric key is decrypted with the private key
  • The encrypted file is decrypted using the decrypted symmetric key and the initialisation vector.
  • The path to the file may be relevant in subsequent processing.

time_zoneno

If a Java data pattern is specified for the value parameter then the date is calculated for the given time zone.

The time zone is specified from a string, for example "GMT", "Europe/London". Valid time zone strings as explained with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones can be specified.

If this parameter is omitted then the time zone that the Agent is operated for will be used.


environment_variableno

The name of an environment variable in the Job Resource that should automatically be populated with the value specified for the key. Technically the environment variable will hold a reference to the key.


controller_idno
The Controller ID identifies the Controller to which the updated Job Resource will be deployed.
encipherment_certificateno

The certificate

The CA signed or self-signed X.509 certificate. Alternatively the public key can be specified. This variable is normally provided via a job resource that is managed with the certificate management. When this variable is set the value will be encrypted. The encrypted value will contain:

  • The encrypted symmetric key is decrypted with the private key
  • The encrypted file is decrypted using the decrypted symmetric key and the initialisation vector.
  • The path to the file may be relevant in subsequent processing.

When the certificate is specified the value will be encrypted and then added to the job resource.
