Ok so bottom line I’m trying to sequence tasks without the use of Server Automation. I’ve worked out a way in which a task will pass a “token” from one server to the next which will then make each server with the “token” relevant to a baseline. The baseline will execute on each server in the order the token is passed.
Below is the action script for my “pass token” task. Every time I run it I get a relevance substitution error on the “If” in section 5 below. I commented out everything after it just to make sure nothing else is causing the issue.
Here’s some of my observations:
a. The line works PERFECTLY when I try it in the Action Tab of the Fixlet Debugger. Moreover the entire Section 5 (without all the comment slashes) works perfectly when run from the Fixlet Debugger.
b. On some endpoints I’ve found that if the folder exists the task completes successfully, but on others even when the folder exists it still fails.
c. I put in a “pause while” the folder does not exist in Section 3 just to make sure it doesn’t get to the offending line unless the folder exists and I STILL get an error in the console and a “evaluation error” in the client logs.
d. The client log doesn’t even show it trying to check for the existence of the directory in order to create it or some of the other lines in the action script.
I’m going to step away from it for a day and see if time helps me see what I’m doing wrong. Can anyone see any glaring issues that I might be missing?
