Parameter and Description |
accept Deprecated. Optional. Use outputFormat in place of accept. Specifies the format for the returned data. You supply a content type with the accept parameter that is used on the HTTP Accept request header sent to Command Central or Platform Manager. For example: accept="json" accept="xml" accept="csv" accept="tsv" If you omit the accept parameter, xml is used. Note: Use either the accept or the format parameter to specify the format of the returned data. If you specify both, the value you specify with the accept is used. |
checkevery Optional. Specifies the number of seconds the command waits before checking for expected output specified by the expectedvalues parameter. For example: checkevery="10" This parameter is only applicable when you also specify the expectedvalues parameter. If you specify the expectedvalues parameter but omit checkevery, the command uses the value of the CC_CHECK_EVERY environment variable. If the CC_CHECK_EVERY environment variable is not set, the command uses 15 seconds. |
command Optional. Specifies a Command Central or Platform Manager command to execute. For example, to execute the following command: sagcc list landscape nodes In a script, use the following: <cc command="sagcc list landscape nodes" /> Another example might be to execute the following command: sagcc create landscape nodes alias=n1 url=localhost In a script, use the following: <cc command="sagcc create landscape nodes alias=n1 url=localhost" /> Note: Do not include the command options as described in Common Options. Instead use the corresponding attributes listed in this table. For example, if you want to specify the format “json”, use format="json" and not --format json. In other words, to execute: sagcc create landscape nodes alias=n1 url=localhost --format json In a script, use the following: <cc command="sagcc create landscape nodes alias=n1 url=localhost" format="json"/> |
debug Optional. Specifies you want extra information returned that you can use for debugging issues, in addition to the returning service output. The extra information includes: HTTP service request URL of the Command Central or Platform Manager server to which the request was sent Request content type Accept header for the request HTTP response code from the request Response content type Response content length |
error Optional. Specifies the file for error output. You can specify: Absolute directory path and filename. For example: error="c:\outputs\errors.xml" Relative directory path and filename. For example: error="outputs\errors.json" Filename of a file in the same directory where you initiated the script. For example: output="errors.xml" If you omit the error parameter, the command output is written to the console. If you specify both the error and the errorproperty parameters, the command writes the error output to both locations identified by the parameters. |
errorproperty Optional. Specifies the name of a property where you want error output stored if a command fails and failonerror="false". For example: errorproperty="error.property" If you specify both the error and the errorproperty parameters, the command writes the error output to both locations identified by the parameters. |
expectedvalues Optional. Specifies the expected values from a command. For example: expectedvalues="STOPPED" Use the expectedvalues parameter in conjunction with the checkevery and wait parameters. Tip: Using wait="0" with expectedvalues acts as s simple assertion mechanism to confirm that the output contains what you expect before executing the next step. If you omit the expectedvalues parameter, the command completes without expecting a specific value. If the expected values that you specify do not match the actual values, the build fails and stops. |
failonerror Optional. Specifies whether to fail the entire script if an error occurs executing the command. Specify: true if you want the script to fail and stop if an error occurs. false if you want the script to continue even if the command fails. If the command fails, the error is written to the file specified with the error property, the errorproperty parameter is set with the command output, and the script can perform additional processing to check the output. For example: failonerror="false" If you omit the failonerror parameter, command uses true. |
format Deprecated. Optional. Use outputFormat in place of format. Specifies the format you want a command to use for the data it returns. For example: format="xml" Command Central and Platform Manager support the following formats: Tab-separated values (tsv) Plain text (txt) XML (xml) Comma-separated values (csv) JavaScript Object Notation (json) ZIP (zip) PDF (pdf) If you omit the format parameter, the command uses xml. Although Command Central and Platform Manager support these formats, a specific command might only support a subset of the formats. Refer to the documentation for a specific command to determine the exact formats that it supports and to determine the default format for the command. Note: Not all commands support plain text. If you specify txt for a command that does not support this format, the command uses tsv or xml based on the formats the command supports. Note: Use either the accept or the format parameter to specify the format of the returned data. If you specify both, the value you specify with the accept is used. |
info Optional. Sets the level of information to log to INFO. If you omit both the info and quiet attributes, info is used. |
input Required for some actions if inputstring is omitted. Identifies a file that contains the input data for the operation. For example, when creating a new installation, you are required to provide an alias name and URL for the installation. You would supply the alias name and URL in the input data file. When you specify one of the following actions with the operation or method parameters, specifying input is required. It is not applicable for other actions. Operations: POST, CREATE. ADD, PUT, UPDATE, EXEC Methods: POST, PUT Additionally, specifying input is required when using the command parameter if the command you specify requires input. Supported file types for an input data file are XML (.xml), JavaScript Object Notation (.json), and properties (.properties). Although Command Central and Platform Manager support these formats, a specific command might only support a subset of the formats. Refer to the documentation for a specific command to determine the exact formats that it supports and to determine the default format for the command. When identifying the input file, you can specify: Absolute directory path and filename. For example: input="c:\templates\input.xml" Relative directory path and filename. The path is relative from where you initiated the script. For example: input="templates\input.xml" Filename of a file in the same directory where you initiated the script. For example: input="input.xml" |
inputFormat Optional. Specifies the content type of the input data for a command. You can specify the same values for inputFormat and ouputFormat. The default value is taken from the input file extension if the extension matches the short version of a supported media type. If the input file extension does not match the short version of a supported media type, the default is text/plain. |
inputstring Required for some actions if input is omitted. Specifies a string that contains the actual input data for the operation. When you specify one of the following actions with the operation or method parameters, specifying input is required. It is not applicable for other actions. Operations: POST, CREATE. ADD, PUT, UPDATE, EXEC Methods: POST, PUT Additionally, specifying input is required when using the command parameter if the command you specify requires input. For example, to change the data for the instance with ID “IS-PRIMARYPORT”, for the component with ID “IntegrationServer-instanceName”, running on the node with ID “sag01”, you could use the following: <cc command="update configuration data sag01 IntegrationServer-instanceName IS_PRIMARYPORT inputstring="valid.instance.id" mediaType="text/plain" format="txt" /> Note: Use the inputstring attribute when the input data is simple. For more complex data, use the input attribute. |
log Optional. Specifies the file for log information. Log information is written whether commands are successful or encounter errors. The logged results include: Service output Errors that occur while interpreting a command Note: If the error occurs while the initializing a command, the error is written to the console rather than the file specified with the log parameter Debug information if the debug parameter is specified The log information is written to the console if you do not specify the error or output attributes. |
mediatype Deprecated. Optional. Use inputFormat in place of mediatype. Specifies the content type of the input data for a command. |
method Required if operation is omitted. Use as part of the command parameter. Specifies the operation to execute against a resource. For example: method="PUT" Command Central and Platform Manager support the following operations: GET to retrieve data. POST to add or create a new resource. PUT to update data for a resource. DELETE to delete a data. If you omit the method parameter, you must specify the operation parameter to specify the action to execute. Use either the method parameter or the operation parameter, but not both. |
operation Required if method is omitted. Use as part of the command parameter. Specifies the operation to execute against a resource. For example: operation="LIST" Command Central and Platform Manager support the following operations: GET or LIST to retrieve data. POST, CREATE, ADD, or EXEC to add/create a new resource or execute an action against a resource. PUT or UPDATE to update data for a resource. DELETE or REMOVE to delete data. OPTIONS or WADL to retrieve information for supported services. If you omit the operation parameter, you must specify the method parameter to specify the action to execute. Use either the method parameter or the operation parameter, but not both. If you specify both, the operation parameter is used. |
output Optional. Identifies a file for command output. You can specify: Absolute directory path and filename. For example: output="c:\outputs\results.xml" Relative directory path and filename. The path is relative from where you initiated the script. For example: output="outputs\results.json" Filename of a file in the same directory where you initiated the script. For example: output="results.xml" If you omit the output parameter, the command output is written to the console. If you specify both the output and the outputproperty parameters, the command writes the output to both locations identified by the parameters. |
outputFormat Optional. Specifies the format you want a command to use for the data it returns. For example: outputFormat="xml" Command Central and Platform Manager support the following formats: Tab-separated values (tsv) Plain text (txt) XML (xml) Comma-separated values (csv) JavaScript Object Notation (json) ZIP (zip) PDF (pdf) The outputFormat parameter accepts any value for the HTTP Accept request header sent to Command Central or Platform Manager. If you omit the outputFormat, but include an -o option in the command, Platform Manager determines the output format from the file extension. If you include a value for the outputFormat, for example: sagcc list landscape nodes -p manage -output-format xml -o D:\f.json Platform Manager uses the outputFormat value, in the example the output format will be XML. If you omit the outputFormat parameter and do not include an -o option, the command uses xml. Although Command Central and Platform Manager support these formats, a specific command might only support a subset of the formats. Refer to the documentation for a specific command to determine the exact formats that it supports and to determine the default format for the command. Note: Not all commands support plain text. If you specify txt for a command that does not support this format, the command uses tsv or xml based on the formats the command supports. |
outputproperty Optional. Specifies an ANT property to hold the result of the command. For example: outputproperty="output.property" If you omit the outputproperty, the output is written to the console. If you specify both the output and the outputproperty parameters, the command writes the output to both locations identified by the parameters. |
password Optional. Specifies the password to use for authentication on the server. For example: password="secret" If you omit the {--password | -p} attribute, the command uses the value you specify with the ccsetup task. If you do not specify the password with the ccsetup task, the command uses the CC_PASSWORD environment variable. If the CC_PASSWORD environment variable is not set, the build fails indicating the password is not set. |
path Required if service and resource are omitted. Use as part of the command parameter. Specifies a path that identifies the service and resource on which the command acts. To form the path, separate the service and resource by a forward slash (/) or a space. For example: path="inventory/components" or path="inventory components" Note: Use either the path parameter or the service and resource parameters to identify the service and resource on which to act. |
quiet Optional. Sets the level of information to log to ERROR. |
resource Required if path is omitted. Use as part of the command parameter. Specifies the resource against which to execute the command. For example: resource="components" Examples of resources you can supply are: components environments fixes logs nodes products When you use the resource parameter, you must also specify the service parameter to identify the service. Note: Use either the service and resource parameters or the path parameter to identify the service and resource on which to act. |
responseCodeProperty Optional. Specifies an ANT property to hold the response code. For example: responseCodeProperty="response.property" If a command ends successfully, the property you specify will contain a response code that is 400 or less If a command ends with an error and failonerror is set to false, the property you specify will contain an error code |
server Required if omitted from the ccsetup task. Identifies the server on which to execute the command. You can specify either a Command Central or Platform Manager server. For example: server="http://localhost:8092/spm" If you omit server from the cc task, the command uses the value you specify with the ccsetup task. If you omit server from both tasks, the command uses http://localhost:8090/cce. |
service Required if path is omitted. Use as part of the command parameter. Specifies the service that provides the resource on which the command acts. For example: service="inventory" Examples of services you can supply are: configuration diagnostics inventory jobmanager landscape lifecycle monitoring resources When you use the service parameter, you must also specify the resource parameter to identify the resource. Note: Use either the service and resource parameters or the path parameter to identify the service and resource on which to act. |
username Optional. Specifies the user name to use for authentication. For example: username="Administrator" The following lists the order used to determine the value used for the user name: 1. Value set with the cc task. 2. Value set with the ccsetup task. 3. Value defined in the CC_USERNAME environment variable. 4. “Administrator” |
wait Optional. Specifies how many seconds to wait for a long-running operation to return the expected values specified by the expectedvalues parameter. For example: wait="160" This parameter is only applicable when you also specify the expectedvalues parameter. If you specify the expectedvalues parameter but omit wait, the command uses the value of the CC_WAIT environment variable. If the CC_WAIT environment variable is not set, the command uses 120 seconds. |
