  • PROJECT_TYPE - Package deploy project type, GENERIC, EBS, MDS etc

  • OBJECT_TYPE_CODE - Object type for the File.

  • File level attributes

    • FILE_PATH - File path of the package deploy file. (File Name (with path)) on the package deployment screen.

    • FILE_NAME - File name of the package deploy file

    • FILE_PATH_PREFIX - File path, excluding the file name and extension

    • FILE_EXTENSION - File extension on the package deploy file.

    • SOURCE_FILE - Fully qualified location of the file on the endpoint.

    • FILE_HASH - The Hash of the file as generated recorded by FlexDeploy

    • FILE_SCM_REVISION - The SCM Revision of the package deploy file

See Special Considerations below.

Artifacts

This operation delegates the consume/produce artifacts decision to the workflow developer.

Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates the selection to the workflow developer to determine.

Endpoint Execution

This operations delegates the execution to the workflow developer to decide.

Special Considerations

User Defined Outputs – An output must be defined in the workflow editor to be accessible. Within your script, use the following built-in function to set the output with the appropriate value and have it returned to the workflow process. Any number of outputs can be used.

Output Syntax
setOutput {output name} {output value} #Example Call: setOutput RESULT %{RESULT_VARIABLE}%

Outputs are aggregated into a CSV list for package deployments.

The above RESULT example would contain an entry for each file in the object list.  [YES, NO]

Indicate file was not processed and should not consider status
# just call ignoreStatus for File that this shell did not process ignoreStatus

Overriding the file status

There may be cases when you want to manually set the status for any particular file when scripting.  The below functions can be utilized to set the status of the file as you see fit:

Call: setObjectResultStatusSuccess Call: setObjectResultStatusFailed Call: setObjectResultStatusSkipped Call: setObjectResultStatusNotAttempted Call: setObjectResultStatusIgnore
