Action

Downloads content from a web server.

Parameters

LszUrl (string): The URL of a Nomad-style LSZ file that acts as a manifest for the content.

Return values

Downloaded (boolean): Whether download was successful or not.

NomadStatus (string): One of

    • "Nomad not supported" (for non-Windows)

    • "Unknown" (Windows, but did not get a chance to use Nomad)

    • "Nomad successful" (for download)

    • "Nomad failed" (Nomad not installed or suitable, or download with Nomad attempted but failed, but subsequent HTTP download may have succeeded) .

Example

 ContentDistribution.Stage(LszUrl:"http://fileserver.domain.local/Content/Tachyon_1d82db90-39ba-47c3-98b1-4483d20ac8f7_1.LsZ",
                           DirectoryUrl:"http://fileserver.domain.local/Content/Tachyon_1d82db90-39ba-47c3-98b1-4483d20ac8f7",
                           ContentLocation:"c:\hiddenshare\prestagedContent\patch12");

Platforms

  • Windows (also supports Nomad)

  • Linux

  • MacOS

Notes

If NomadContentDownloadEnabled is set to true in the Agent's configuration file and Nomad is available and running then Nomad will be used for download. If Nomad is not available or fails then the Agent falls back to its internal HTTP provider.
