Creating CLI Actions

CLI Actions execute operations in Windows or UNIX Operating Systems. The Workflow in a CLI Action always contains two Job objects (JOBS), one for the Windows and one for the UNIX Agent. When the Workflow is executed, the Agent decides which Jobs should be executed.

Prerequisites

To be able to create CLI Actions, the PCK.ITPA_SHARED component must be installed

To Create CLI Actions

  1. Open the Packs tab in the sidebar in the Process Assembly perspective.
  2. Click the Pack where you want to create the Action or create a new Pack.
  3. Click Add Action. The Add Action window is displayed.
  4. Select the CLI Action type (Command Line).
  5. Enter a Title for the Action. The Name for the Action is suggested automatically.

  6. Enter a new Category for the Action or select an existing one from the drop-down list. 

    Categories are used to group and easily find the Actions and are displayed on the Actions tab. This is the entry that you see in the Actions pane in the Workflow editor (Process Assembly perspective) when you are creating Workflows.

  7. Click Next to confirm the creation of the Action.
  8. Click Add.
