• Errors and Output - These two fields concern management of control errors. Their options are:
  • Fail and Output Error - Search for the configured error pattern in script output. If found, an error message is displayed in the monitor showing the match.
  • Warn and Output Warn - Search for the configured warning pattern in the script output. If found, an error message is displayed in the monitor showing the match.
  • Custom - Where combo errors is set to custom, a new form is displayed for defining using the following fields:
    • OK - Range of return code values for the script to have succeeded. No message will be displayed in the monitor.
    • Warn - Range of return code values to warn the user. A warning message will be displayed in the monitor.
    • Error - Range of return code values for the script to have failed. An error message will be displayed in the monitor.
  • Silent - Silence all errors found.

How to use

In Clarive EE

Once the plugin is placed in its folder, you can find this service in the palette in the section of generic service and can be used like any other palette op.

Op Name: WildFly Application Server

Configuration start example:

    Server CI: GenericServer
    Path to WildFly script: /wildfly/bin/standalone.sh
    Functions: start
    Configuration File: standalone.xml

Due possible delay in starting the WildFly server, it is recommended to add a timeout if you wish to perform a deployment service.

Configuration deployment example:

    Server CI: GenericServer
    Path to WildFly script: /wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh
    Functions: deploy
    Credentials: 
        username: user
        password: *********
    File path to deploy: /path/to/example.war
