  • 1.  Run_Script_1 - Powershell script- How to use Operator parameters

    Posted Nov 30, 2018 09:23 AM

    Hi Community,

     

    CA Process Automation Service Pack 04.3.03

     

    I am using the run_script operator to run the a piece of powershell script on remote machine. I have defined the host names in Parameters section of the operator as below

     

     

    I am looking for a way to use the "defined operator parameters" in the Inline script,  any inputs on how to use the  values of parameters in the inline script.

     

    Thank you,

    Regards,

    Venkat

    Hi CodeGeek,

     

    Try this:

     

    param($server1, $server2)

    hostname $server1

    hostname $server2

    Hi,

     

    Just as a special note, you have to be careful what the content is of the variables you pass to PowerShell are.

     

    Some characters will cause PowerShell to not parse the input properly, I have often found that to be a problem with complex passwords that use special characters.

     

    Sometimes you can avoid this by wrapping the variables in single quotes, but not always.

     

    Hope this helps,
