Organization of this subsection

(1) Function to define service linkage job information

This function is to define service linkage job information. It is available on the website screen of JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications.

With JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications, linkage with a cloud service by using a command line interface (CLI) that can coordinate with the cloud service is assumed. The service linkage job information defines and use this CLI information.

Service linkage job information consists of the following three pieces of information:

Cloud service linkage connection information

This information is on the interface for connecting to the cloud service. For example, the login command and an option for logging in with the user's login information specified as the option fall within this category. This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage connection information or abbreviated as connection information. In addition, the definition of service linkage connection information is abbreviated as the connection definition.

Cloud service linkage authentication information

This information is necessary for an interface for connecting a cloud service. For example, a username and a password used for authenticating a user account fall under this category. This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage authentication information or abbreviated as authentication information. In addition, definition of service linkage authentication information is abbreviated as authentication definition.

Cloud service linkage execution information

This is information on an interface for using a cloud service after connection of the cloud service. For example, an execution command and options for executing processing by calling a server-less service, and a result check command and options for checking the result of the processing of the service that was executed fall under this category. This information is hereafter referred to as service linkage execution information or abbreviated as execution information. In addition, definition of service linkage execution information is abbreviated as execution definition.

(2) Function to register service linkage job information as a custom job

This function registers service linkage job information as a custom job of JP1/AJS3.

By registering service linkage job information defined with JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications as a custom job from JP1/AJS3 - View, it can be defined as a service linkage job on JP1/AJS3.

(3) Function to execute service linkage job with JP1/AJS3

This function is to execute a service linkage job with JP1/AJS3.

A service linkage job is executed based on information registered as a custom job and service linkage job information that was obtained from the JP1/AJS3 for Cloud Service Applications server when the job was executed.
