How to configure a connection between two ansible components

• You can connect AnsibleTask, AnsibleRole, AnsibleGalaxy, and Bash component with each other.
• The operation post_configure_source and add_source are executed in the same order as described in How to connect two script components.
• The environment variables of the SOURCE node and TARGET node are available in the operations as described in Environment variables for connection relationship.

Examples

• Design the topology as belows.
• Connect the AnsibleTasks and the Bash component to the AnsibleRole component.

tip

You can find this example under New Application / Topology Template / Ansible-Bash-Connector.

• Select AnsibleRole.
• Set the port property to 27017.
• Set an env property with key FOO value bar.

In the post_configure_source of the AnsibleTasks component, we can write a script to access the enrionment variables of the AnsibleRole component:

- debug:

msg:

- "Hello I am an ansible task {{ SOURCE_NODE }} executes on {{ SOURCE_HOST }} to connect with {{ TARGET_NODE }} at {{ TARGET_IP }}."

- "I can access the env variable FOO on the target node {{ TARGET_NODE }} with value: {{ TARGET_FOO }}."

Expected result
