EXECUTION - General Knowledge 

Linux activities can be executed in 2 different ways: via Windows Execution Agents or via Linux Execution Agents.

Using Windows Execution Agents:

  • the Input variable is mandatory and it is the output of an SSH Connection activity.

Using Linux Execution Agents:

  • the Input variable is not mandatory. Activities will be executed on the selected Linux agent and the results will be retrieved for the Linux machine where the execution agent is.

  • Remove From History (text box editor type) (type: string): this is an optional parameter which was previously used for hiding the password sent to the console from the history. Currently this parameter is ignore, because the activity will not send the password as a command anymore.
  • Script (text box editor type) (type: string): the bash script which should be executed. Use $using:variableName for external workflow variables/arguments or $UsingPassword:{GV_MyPassword} to use passwords. In order to bypass terminal colors (codes), use the --color=never option. This parameter takes precedence over the Command one.
  • Split Separator (text box editor type) (type: string): Enter the separator used to split the script/command result in Output Results List (e.g. ';',':' '→'). By default is newline.
  • SSH Console Response Timeout (text box editor type) (type: string): the SSH console response timeout. This option is required only if TTY or KeepShell parameters are being used. By default Flowster provides a wait time of 3 seconds, but it can be changed according to the user's need.

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output (type: string): outputs the SSH command execution.
  • Output Result Code (type: int32): outputs the execution's result code
  • Output Results List (type: collections.generic.list[string]): outputs a list of results.






Unix OS File Transfer

This activity copies a file from the currently connected machine to another Linux host.

Activity Parameters

The Unix OS File Transfer activity parameters can be provided by manual inserted values or via IN arguments or variables:

Parameters:

  • Connection (text box editor type) (type: string): SSH Connection. The output from the SSH Connection activity should be used.
  • Host File Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the complete path to the file to be copied, from the host where the activity is connected to. E.g. /home/user/MyScript.sh
  • Target Password (password box editor type) (type: string): the password for the Unix machine where the file should be copied.
  • Target Password Binding (text box editor type) (type: string): this parameter should be used to bind an IN argument that will be used to store an encrypted password from outside the workflow, for example Flowster Studio Portal.
  • Target Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the path on the Linux host where the file should be copied. E.g. /home/user/DemoFile.txt If no path is provided (the input value is ""), the files will be copied in the root folder.
  • Target Server (text box editor type) (type: string): the name or IP of the target Linux server, where the file will be copied.
  • Target Username (text box editor type) (type: string): the username for the Unix machine where the file will be copied.

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output Result Code (type: object): outputs the result code of the file transfer execution.




Unzip File

This activity unzip a file to a specific Linux path.

Activity Parameters

The Unzip File activity parameters can be provided by manual inserted values or via IN arguments or variables:

Parameters:

  • Agent Password (password box editor type) (type: string): the password for the Unix machine username provided. This parameter should only be used when the workflow is executed with Linux agents.
  • Agent Password Binding (text box editor type) (type: string): this parameter should be used to bind an IN argument that will be used to store an encrypted password from outside the workflow, for example Flowster Studio Portal.  
  • Agent Username (text box editor type) (type: string): the username for the Unix machine username provided. This parameter should only be used when the workflow is executed with Linux agents. E.g "demouser".
  • Destination Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the destination path where the file(s) will be extracted.
  • Input (text box editor type) (type: string): SSH Connection. If the activity is not executed with Linux Execution Agents, then the output from the SSH Connection activity should be used.
  • File Path (text box editor type) (type: string): the path of the zip file.

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

  • Output (type: string): outputs the SSH command execution.
  • Output Result Code (type: int32): outputs the execution's result code
