OverthinkerDave (Customer) asked a question.
I have almost automated the ENTIRE process of re-installing an AFX server with an "Ansible Playbook".
(where I also give the option to centrally set some options, like "maven deploy rate" or "where is my mother? (System Operations Node)")
But there is one last thing that I could not automate: Downloading a fresh "Archive" for each AFX.
When you patch this product, the AFX-server downloads this archive by itself
- How is that done?
- What is the URL?
- What credentials do you need to enter to that web service?
Ansible is running locally, so no Firewall should be a problem here.
Plan B: How can I trigger an AFX to re-install itself (with the included download of a fresh zip-file)?
(upgrade script is not very good, but any mistake it does can be corrected by ansible later)
