Executes user-provided Windows commands and/or existing bat scripts on a Windows server/machine. The plugin provides the ability for the user to define additional inputs that will be available to the bat scripts when executing. In addition, the plugin provides the ability for the user to define any number of outputs from the execution of the bat script that can be utilized in subsequent steps in the workflow.
All workflow execution properties are also available to the shell script, but any print of secure properties using echo command will result in ***** being printed in FlexDeploy logs. This prevents secure property values like PASSWORD from being visible to any FlexDeploy user.
