Lua script to sync/deploy packages to robots using ADE 

Sep 20, 2018 02:38 PM

This Lua script will use the ADE to deploy/sync packages throughout your environment. It can be used for any package in the archive; however, the script is designed to skip hub robots. I added that logic in to ensure a hub robot doesn't restart during package deployment.

 

For example, you have two versions of cdm in the archive (6.20 and 6.30). If you want every robot in the environment that has cdm installed to be running 6.30, then you could create a schedule to run the script and use the following parameters: cdm 6.30 UPDATE ALL

 

If you wanted every robot to have version 6.30 of the cdm probe regardless of whether the cdm probe is currently installed or not, then the parameters would be: cdm 6.30 PUSH ALL

 

If you only wanted to deploy to a single hub and only if cdm is already installed, the parameters would be: cdm 6.30 UPDATE HUB_NAME

 

If you want to deploy a package one time if the same version hasn't already been installed, the parameters would be: cdm 6.30 INSTALL HUB_NAME

-- desc   : The intention of this script is to automate the process of updating packages.
-- This script should be run by the nas with arguments passed to it. The first argument must be the
-- package name, the second argument must be the version, and the third argument must be whether a
-- fresh install is desired (deploy regardless of whether probe currently is installed on the robot),
-- the fourth argument is the hub name ro process or ALL for all hubs.
-- This script will EXCLUDE ALL HUB ROBOTS from processing.
-- Alternatively, the script may be run manually and will use the variables provided in the script.
-- The folder "script_logs" *MUST* be manually created under the nas directory prior to running this
-- script.
