Upgrading your scripts in extensible discovery

This section describes how to upgrade your scripts that are used with Extensible Discovery. The following steps presume you have already created and installed a script called get_mysysdata.sh and wrapped it in the file get_windows_data_v1.0.zip and imported it into Extensible Discovery as described in Adding your own scripts to extensible discovery. To upgrade this script:

Create the new version of your script and give it the same name as the original script file. For example, use get_mysysdata.sh. Follow the instructions in Writing your own scripts for extensible discovery.
Wrap your script in a .zip file and increment the version string of the .zip file. For example, you could use get_windows_data_v1.1.zip.
Import your .zip file into a package in SA.

For convenience, you can place your packages in /Opsware/Tools/Extensible Discovery/Customer Provided Components. Make sure your imported package specifies the proper target operating system.

For instructions on importing packages, see "Software management" in the SA 10.50 User Guide.
Open your package in the SA Client and set the Default Install Path property to one of the following and save your changes.
- UNIX: /var/opt/opsware/extensible_discovery/scripts
- Windows: %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Opsware\extensible_discovery\scripts\. SA replaces %ProgramFiles% with the appropriate system Program Files directory.
Open the software policy “Customer Provided Scripts”. If you have used another software policy, open that policy.

Note
Make sure the respective software policy has the proper target operating system(s).
Remove the old .zip file from the policy, get_windows_data_v1.0.zip in this example.
Add your new .zip file to the policy, get_windows_data_v1.1.zip in this example.
If you are using the “Customer Provided Scripts” policy, run Extensible Discovery as described in Running extensible discovery on managed servers. This remediates your new script on the managed servers.

If you are using another policy, remediate the servers with that policy. This remediates your new script on the managed servers so Extensible Discovery can be run.
