SSH Script Attributes

Remote Host name

The host name or IP of the computer to connect to.

Script Type:

The type of the script specified in the Inline Script field. Select from bean shell script (.bsh) and JavaScript (.js). If this field is left blank, the operator defaults to .bsh.

Inline Script?

This operator provides two methods to provide the script: inline or as an expression. Select this check box to provide the script inline.

Inline Script

The script, written in bean shell or javascript, uses the conn object and its API as follows:

• Send a command to the remote host
• Wait for the command to terminate
• Retrieve the output of the last command

The APIs that the conn object exposes are detailed in Run SSH Script Operator Inline Script APIs.

Script as Expression

Provides the script as an expression. See the Inline Script field for information about the script itself.

Parameters

The CA Process Automation parameters to pass to the script. Only simple CA Process Automation parameter types can be passed to the script as follows:

• PAM Boolean is passed as a Boolean object.
• PAM Date is passed as a Date object.
• PAM Double is passed as a Double object.
• PAM Integer is passed as an Integer object.
• PAM Long is passed as a Long object.
• PAM String is passed as a String object.
• PAM Object Reference is passed as a String object.

Complex CA Process Automation parameters types (indexed types, ValueMaps, and so on) cannot be passed to the script.

The script can access these objects through the args array of objects, where args[0] corresponds to the first parameter in the list, args[1] corresponds to the second parameters, and so on.

Output Variable Names

The names of the variables, created in the script, to save in the operator dataset at the end of the execution of the script.

The variables must be defined in the scope of the script so they are visible at the end of the execution and can be saved in the operator’s dataset.

The output variables are saved as follows:

• Boolean object saves as a PAM Boolean.
• Date object saves as a PAM Date.
• Integer object saves as a PAM Integer.
• Number object saves as a PAM Long or Double object.
• String object saves as a PAM string.
• Character object saves as a PAM string.
• An array of objects saves as an indexed PAM type, where the PAM type is defined by the type of the first object in the array of objects.
• Undefined saves as a PAM string with undefined as its value (the variable has not been assigned a value).
