Command Plugin Reference 8.6.x

The XL Deploy Command plugin allows you to execute scripts on remote systems, without requiring you to manually log on to each system, copy required resources, and execute the scripts or commands.

This document provides information that is specific to this version of the Command plugin. For general information about the plugin, refer to Introduction to the XL Deploy Command plugin.

Using the deployables and deployeds

Deployable vs. container Table

The following table describes which deployable/container combinations are possible.

Deployables	Containers	Generated Deployed
cmd.Command	overthere.Host	cmd.DeployedCommand

Note: Command plugin configuration items (CIs) can only be targeted to containers that are derived from the overthere.Host CI.

Deployed actions table

The following table describes the effect a deployed has on its container.

Deployed	Create	Destroy	Modify
cmd.DeployedCommand	Upload command resources to host Resolve command line placeholder references with absolute paths to the uploaded resource files on host Execute command line on host	Run the undo command associated with the deployed command, if exists. Actions are same as described for Create	Run the undo command associated with the deployed command, if exists. Actions are same as described for Create Run the modified command. Actions are same as described for Create
