Cisco Cisco Workload Automation 6.3 User Guide

Using the SSH Adapter

Monitoring SSH Jobs

Click the 

 tab.

In the 

 field, enter the the absolute path and filename of the command, script, batch file or executable 

that you want the job to run.

In the 

 field, enter either the hard-coded value for each parameter or type a parameter name. 

In the 

 field, enter the path for the working directory of the program or script specified in the 

 field.

(Optional) In the 

 field, enter any comments.

In the 

 field, enter a filename.

If a file is specified, the SSH agent looks for the output file in the location specified and reads it as text, returning 
that text as the output of the job instead of gathering the job process’s standard output. A job process’s “standard 
output” is the text that would be returned to the screen if you were to run the process manually via a command line 
interface. However, some applications do not return any “standard output,” resulting in a blank 

 tab in the

 dialog if run by CWA.

Click 

 to save the job.

Monitoring SSH Jobs

As SSH tasks run as pre-scheduled or event-based jobs, you can monitor the jobs as you would any other type of job in 
CWA using the 

 dialog. You can also use the Business view to monitor job activity and view when the jobs 

are active (see the Cisco Workload Automation User Guide for instructions on using Business Views).

In the 

 pane, select 

to display the 

console.

Right-click job

and select 

 from the context menu.
