emdash™ and RightScale

emdash can be used to manage environments on the RightScale cloud platform.  Some set up tasks must be performed within emdash prior to creating a new environment using RightScale.

The following system wide settings must be created using the emdash reference data manager Create System Wide Setting page.

RightScale system wide settings

The system wide setting "rightScalePlatformScriptFolder" if set and pointing to an accessible folder will be checked for the following script names for the relevant platform function:
 
  • GetServerStatus.ps1
  • StopServer.ps1
  • StartServer.ps1
  • CreateServer.ps1
 
If the script exists it will be executed instead of the default embedded version in emdash.  Override scripts must accept exactly the same parameters as the embedded emdash versions and return values in the same format.
