##Features##

Requirements

• Deployit requirements
  • Deployit: version 3.9+

Installation

Place the plugin JAR file into your SERVER_HOME/plugins directory. Place the jt400 JAR file into your SERVER_HOME/plugins directory. Pick up the version depending of your needs and the target system.

Usage

The plugin copies the behavior of the generic.ExecutedScript deployed provided by the generic-plugin but it targets only an iseries.Server. The scripts are using the freemarker template language to be generated: each lines will be executed one by one.

Example

This is an example how to execute a command. In your synthetic.xml file add the following definition.

<type type="mysoftware.ExecutedPackage" extends="iseries.ExecutedScript"
		deployable-type="mysoftware.Package" container-type="iseries.Server">
		<generate-deployable type="mysoftware.Package" extends="generic.Resource"/>
		<property name="createScript" default="mysoftware/create.ftl" hidden="true" />
		<property name="category"/>
		<property name="code"/>
		<property name="targetApplication"/>
		<property name="version"/>
</type>

with the content of mysoftware/create.ftl, relative to the location of the synthetic.xml file.
