Field Name | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
Endpoint Name | Yes | The name of the Endpoint. |
Description | No | An optional description for the Endpoint. |
Active | Yes | Whether or not the endpoint is active in the system. Defaults to "Yes". |
Connection Type | Yes | The connection type used for connection to the Endpoint. Select HTTPS for connectivity over https protocol. |
Operating System | Yes | Unix or Windows |
Address | Yes | The DNS name or IP address of the Endpoint. |
Port | Yes | The HTTPS listen port of the Endpoint, and HTTPS Agent process or proxy. This will depend on how you installed configurations of https agent, see FlexDeploy HTTPS Agent for more details. Default port for HTTPS Agent process is 8444, which you can configure to 443 alsoor something else as necessary. |
Base Directory | Yes | A working directory on the Endpoint used by FlexDeploy. ~ is not supported here. See Permissions information below for details on how to create this folder automatically (Recommended). For example, /app/flexdeploy. If you have two FlexDeploy installations that may connect to same Endpoint, you must use unique folders for both FlexDeploy Servers. In most cases, separate FlexDeploy is installed to perform testing of FlexDeploy patches, which may connect to same Endpoint, in which case you can use different folder like /app/flexdeploytest and /app/flexdeploy. Working directory under /var/tmp or /tmp folder is not recommended as administrators generally have cron jobs to purge files based on age and that will cause issues when plugin files are deleted. For example, Error: Could not find or load main class flexagon.fd.core.plugin.ExternalPluginServer will be encountered when plugin lib files are deleted. Permissions
|
JDK Home | Yes | The JDK Home directory on the Endpoint. For example, /usr. FlexDeploy will look for /bin/java under specified JDK Home folder. |
Source Script | No | An optional script executed right before plugins are executed on the endpoint. Script can source some other environment script as well. Script should be Unix shell or Windows bat commands depending on type of Endpoint. If using Windows Cygwin SSH then script should be written as Unix shell. Some usages of this script include sourcing an environment file (. $HOME/mfile.env) or exporting a variable (export FLEXAGON_FD_PLUGIN_JAVA_ARGS="-Xmx1024m -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp"). Variables exported here will become available to plugin executions on this endpoint. |
Username | Yes | The user account on the Endpoint to connect with. |
Password | No | The password for the Username. |
