Introduction

JS7 - Management of Standalone Agents allows users to create Agents automatically from individual sources such as a database.

Documentation

The REST Web Service API can be used to automate operation of JS7.

To add REST Web Service API calls in your preferred language or to use the PowerShell cmdlets, refer to:

Examples

The following examples use the JS7 PowerShell Module to manage Standalone Agents:

Example for use of PowerShell cmdlets
#!/usr/bin/env pwsh

# Parameterization

$Url = "http://localhost:4446"
$ControllerId = "controller"

$TestCaseAgentId    = "TestCase_AgentID"
$TestCaseAgentName  = "TestCase_AgentName"
$TestCaseAgentUrl  = "http://TestCase_AgentUrl"

# Connection

Import-Module JS7 -Force
Connect-JS7 -Url $Url -Id $ControllerId | Out-Null

# ----- Create Standalone Agents -----

# store Agent configuration to inventory
Set-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001" -AgentName "$TestCaseAgentName-001" -Url "$TestCaseAgentUrl-001:4443" -ControllerId $ControllerId
Set-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-002" -AgentName "$TestCaseAgentName-002" -Url "$TestCaseAgentUrl-002:4443" -ControllerId $ControllerId

# ----- Manage Standalone Agents -----

# read Agent configurations from inventory
$agent1 = Get-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001"
$agent2 = Get-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# deploy Agents to Controller
Publish-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# reset Agents if required
Reset-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001"
Reset-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001" -Force

# disable Agents that should not be considered for job execution
Disable-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# hide Agents that should not be considered for assignment to jobs
Hide-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# make hidden Agents visible again
Show-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# enable Agents
Enable-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

# ----- Remove Standalone Agents -----

Remove-JS7Agent -AgentId "$TestCaseAgentId-001","$TestCaseAgentId-002"

Explanation:

  • Line 1: A shebang is used to invoke PowerShell on Unix platforms. For Windows platforms replace this line with:
    • @@findstr/v "^@@f.*&" "%~f0"|pwsh.exe -&goto:eof
    • Optionally adjust pwsh.exe by powershell.exe or similar to locate the PowerShell interpreter.
  • Line 5: The URL to JOC Cockpit is specified. This is the same URL as used from a client browser to access JOC Cockpit.
  • Line 6: The Controller ID is specified during setup of a Controller. The Controller ID can be found in the upper right hand corner of any JOC Cockpit page.
