OverthinkerDave (Customer) asked a question.

How can I force an external AFX server to re-install itself?

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)
