  • Required Parameters
    • Parameters which are required to have to be set in the job configuration to proerly run the Jobjob
      • Example: To connect to a remote host, the  'host' parameter is always required to run the job properly.
  • Conditional Optional Parameters
    • Parameters which depend on other parameters
      • Example: The value of the  'auth_method' parameter ('password' or 'publickey') determines whether one of the conditional parameters - the 'password' or 'publickey' parameter has to be set.
    Additional Parameters
    • are not required or parameters which are technically required but are instantiated throug a default value and therefore do not have to be set in the job configuration
      • Example 1: technically required, but instantiated with default value
        • To connect to a remote host, the  'port' parameter is required. The parameter is instantiated with the default value '22' therefore the 'port' parameter does not have to be set in the job configuration.
      • Example 2: not required
        • The 'proxy_host' parameter is only used if the jobs
    • Parameters which are not required, but depend on specific conditions
      • Example: Only a 'host' parameter is required to connect with a remote host. However, if the
        • connection has to be instantiated over a proxy,
        an additional 'proxy_host' parameter is required.
