Executing repotools that are supported by the Engineering Lifecycle Management operator

Administrators and support team run the repotools in the Engineering Lifecycle Management on Hybrid Cloud containers when the server is running. You can use commands to run the repotool.

Following is the sample ELMOperation YAML file to run a repotool command:

apiVersion: elm.ibm.com/v1  
kind: ELMOperation  
metadata:  
  name: elmoperation-sample  
  namespace: repotool-test  
spec:  
  allApplications: false  
  operationType: executeRepotoolCommand  
  repotoolCommand: backupJFSIndexes 
  repositoryURL=https://hostname.example.com:9443/jts toFile=opt/temp/JFSIndexesBackup.zip adminUserId=elm-auth-secret::SCIM_PROVIDER_USERID adminPassword=elm-auth-secret::SCIM_PROVIDER_PASSWORD  
  selectedApplications:  
    ldx: false  
    lqe: false  
    dcc: false  
    jts: true  
    rb:  false  
    ccm: false  
    eni: false  
    rm:  false  
    gc:  false  
    qm:  false 
    jas: false 

Following are restrictive rules that are implemented to run repotool command by using the ELMOperation API

allApplications

This field needs to be set as false, as the execution of a particular repotool command on all applications together or parallel is not supported.

selectedApplications

This field needs only one application set to true, as running a repotool command on multiple applications simultaneously is not advisable. Also, application set to truemust support repotool command execution.

Note: JAS, LQE, LDX, RB applications do not support repotool execution.

operationType

This field is for ELMOperation instance creation to run repotool command. It needs to be set as executeRepotoolCommand

repotoolCommand

This field is used to input the repotool command to be executed. Traditionally, commands are executed by using repotool ‘appname’.sh files:

./repotools-jts.sh -backupJFSIndexes repositoryURL=https://hostname.example.com:9443/jts toFile=opt/temp/JFSIndexesBackup.zip adminUserId=ADMIN adminPassword=ADMIN

However, with ELMOperation yaml, you need to input the repotool command and its parameters in the following way:

‘backupJFSIndexes repositoryURL=https://hostname.example.com:9443/jts toFile=opt/temp/JFSIndexesBackup.zip’

For example,

backupJFSIndexes repositoryURL=https://hostname.example.com:9443/jts toFile=opt/temp/JFSIndexesBackup.zip adminUserId=elm-auth-secret::SCIM_PROVIDER_USERID adminPassword=elm-auth-secret::SCIM_PROVIDER_PASSWORD’

For more information, see ELMOperation, execute Repotool commands

Note:

• Default location for ‘teamserver.properties’ argument for repotool commands is ‘/elm/server/conf/jts/teamserver.properties’
• The operator determines the execution mode (online or offline) for any supported command.
• For repotool commands that require any argument with input file path, you need to copy it to the location ‘/elm/server/conf’ and provide the path to the argument. For more information, see Repository tools command-line reference
