Performs the same function as the Execute operation with the notable difference that it will perform the shell commands on each individual Package Deploy file. 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. All of the workflow execution properties available with execute are also available here in addition to the below properties:

PROJECT_TYPE - Package deploy project type, GENERIC, EBS, MDS etc
OBJECT_TYPE_CODE - Object type for the File.
File level attributes
- FILE_PATH - File path of the package deploy file. (File Name (with path)) on the package deployment screen.
- FILE_NAME - File name of the package deploy file
- FILE_PATH_PREFIX - File path, excluding the file name and extension
- FILE_EXTENSION - File extension on the package deploy file.
- SOURCE_FILE - Fully qualified location of the file on the endpoint.
- 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.

File level variable example

Environment Variable	Value if File Name (with path) is /XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf
`FILE_PATH`	/XXHR/publisher/APXSOBLX_1.rtf
`FILE_NAME`	APXSOBLX_1
`FILE_PATH_PREFIX`	/XXHR/publisher
`FILE_EXTENSION`	rtf
`SOURCE_FILE`	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

Project Properties

Property Name	Property Code	Required	Description
Project File Includes	`FD_PARTIAL_FILE_INCLUDES`	No	Controls files included in Project Files. Enter expressions separated by ##. Leave empty to select all files. Begin or end the expression with * for simple wildcards. Otherwise, regex is used. (e.g. /java/##.java##person##/java/.[tT]est..java)
Project File Excludes	`FD_PARTIAL_FILE_EXCLUDES`	No	Controls files excluded from Project Files. Enter expressions separated by ##. Leave empty to select all files. Begin or end the expression with * for simple wildcards. Otherwise, regex is used. (e.g. /java/##.java##person##/java/.[tT]est..java)
Stop On Deployment Error	`FDSHELL_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 packageExecute operations only.

Inputs

Input Name	Input Code	Required	Description
Code Snippet	`FDSHELL_INP_CODE_SNIPPET`	Yes	The commands and/or scripts that are to be executed on the Unix server.
Stop on Error	`FDSHELL_INP_STOP_ON_ERROR`	No	Check if you want to stop execution of shell script when error occurs. If you want other files in Package to stop execution on error then check Stop On Deployment Error on Project Properties.
Disable Echo	`FDSHELL_INP_DISABLE_ECHO`	No	Flag that indicates to disable echo of each command as it executes. Echo of commands can be very useful tool to identify where shell script has failed during execution as well it helps with debugging. If you do not want to see this echo, you can select this input.
Restrict Environment	`FDWSHELL_INP_RESTRICT_ENVIRONMENT`	No	Provide comma-separated instance codes to restrict environment variables in shell to specified instance codes. If no value is provided all properties are available to shell environment.
No Secure Variables	`FDWSHELL_INP_NO_SECURE_VARIABLES`	No	Check if you do not want to pass secure/encrypted properties in shell environment.
Perform Property Replacement	`FDSHELL_INP_PERFORM_PROPERTY_REPLACEMENT`	No	Check to perform property replacement on source file before execution of script.

Outputs

Output Name	Required	Description
User Defined	No	See Special Considerations below.

Artifacts

This operation delegates consumes/produces artifacts decision to the workflow developer. Check Consumes Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation requires artifacts to be delivered prior to execution of the script. Check Produces Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation creates artifacts. The artifacts folder is available via the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR variable.

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

User defined outputs – an output must be defined in the workflow editor to be accessible. Within your script, use the following built-in function to set the output with the appropriate value and have it returned to the workflow process. Any number of outputs can be used.

Outputs Syntax

setOutput {output name} {output value}

#Example
setOutput RESULT ${RESULT_VARIABLE}

To load a file into an output, consider syntax like this:
setOutput OUTPUT_NAME "`cat /path/to/file.txt `"

Outputs are aggregated into a csv list for package deployments. The above RESULT example would contain an entry for each file in the object list. [YES, NO]

Indicate file was not processed and should not consider status

# just call ignoreStatus for File that this shell did not process
ignoreStatus

Overriding the file status There may be cases when you want to manually set the status for any particular file when scripting. The below functions can be utilized to set the status of the file as you see fit:

setObjectResultStatusSuccess
setObjectResultStatusFailed
setObjectResultStatusSkipped
setObjectResultStatusNotAttempted
setObjectResultStatusIgnore
