In Virtual Appliance, follow these instructions to add, delete, verify, and dry run the custom actions:
  • To add custom actions, run the following command:
    One Action

    1. Create a custom action folder in the /home/appduser/ with its script. For example, Jira folder with script1.sh.

    2. Run the following command:
      appdcli controller actions_add <directory_name> <script_name>

      Example:

      appdcli controller actions_add /home/appduser/Jira script1.sh
