Execute a Python script. This operation differs from executePythonCode by executing the code snippet for every file in the package. See Project Types to create custom Project Type with various File Types and their Attributes. Custom Project Type is very useful with this operation, where you can create custom Package-based Build and Deploy automation. Here are some example scenarios where you custom project type would be useful:
  • Source code repository has individual files for Informatica workflow and other objects that needs to be deployed and tracked individually.
  • Source control system has individual files defining WebSphere resource configuration and they needs to be deployed and tracked individually.
If you were already using Generic Project Type, you can continue to use it as well. This operation has the same support for inputs and outputs available to it as the executePythonCode operation. In addition it has the following variables available with information about a particular file.

​
File Level Variables With Example

Variable name

Description

Value if File Name (with path) is /XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf

FILE_PATH

File path of the package deploy file. (File Name (with path)) on the package deployment screen.

/XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf

FILE_NAME

File name of the package deploy file.

APXSOBLX_1

FILE_PATH_PREFIX

File path, excluding the file name and extension.

/XXHR/publisher

FILE_EXTENSION

File extension on the package deploy file.

rtf

SOURCE_FILE

Fully qualified location of the file on the endpoint.

Fully qualified path to file being processed. This can be different locations for build and deploy workflow execution as there might be some checkout folder specified for build. See examples below for build and deploy workflow where FILE_PATH is in bold text.

  • /home/oracle/application/localhost/work/846808/840047/temp/PackageExecute/EBSCustomizations/XXHR/import/XXHR_Second_CP.ldt

  • /home/oracle/application/localhost/work/846808/840059/temp/import/XXHR_Second_CP.ldt

FILE_HASH

The Hash of the file as generated recorded by FlexDeploy.


FILE_SCM_REVISION

The SCM Revision of the package deploy file.


All file attributes defined on Project Files tab are included as well.

Project Properties

Property Name

Property Code

Required

Description

Stop On Deployment Error

FDPYTHON_STOP_ON_DEPLOYMENT_ERROR

No

Stop deploying package files if any error occurs. If unchecked all files will be deployed even if one or more files fails. This is for package operations only. True by default.

​
Inputs

Input Name

Input Code

Required

Description

Code Snippet

FDPYTHON_INP_CODE_SNIPPET

Yes

Execute python code from an input on a package project.

Python Executable

FDPYTHON_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE

No

e.g. python or python3 if executable is available on PATH

Or specify the full path e.g. /u01/python3.7/bin/python3.

Defaults to python.

​
Artifacts

This operation delegates the consume/produce artifacts decision to the workflow developer.

​
Endpoint Selection

This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to “All”, which selects all available endpoints associated to the Target. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the Target which have that resource defined.

​
Endpoint Execution

This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to “Any”, which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to “All” to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.

​
Special Considerations

​
FlexDeploy Properties

FlexDeploy will pass in any Properties normally available in workflows via System Environment Variables.

​
Outputs

User defined outputs – an output must be defined in the workflow editor to be accessible. Within your script use the setOutput(Key,Value) to set any outputs.

Setting Status

The status of the File can be set in your script using several functions available, see the example below. If an exception occurs in your script, the status will be set to Failed. Statuses will only be set when deploying.
