Summary
The atlassian script is a more powerful script to use in place of product specific scripts (like jira.sh and confluence.sh) and provides a consistent way to access multiple CLIs and servers.
Customization Steps
| Step | Description |
|---|
| 1 | Find the example script | - Look for an example atlassian.bat (Windows) or atlassian.sh (Linux, OSX) in the CLI installation directory
|
...
| 2 | Open in an editor | - See the comments for customization instructions
|
| 3 | Add an entry for each Atlassian server or CLI you want to use | - Use the entry that specific to the server product
- Name it something convenient for you to remember - usually the same as the instance is normally referred to in your organization
|
| 4 | Optional |
...
- Consider adding the installation directory to your path
| |
| 5 | Optional for Linux or OSX
| - Copy or rename atlassian.sh to atlassian

...
what we follow internally to minimize maintenance for upgrades: - Follow the CLI installation naming convention as indicated in the example script
- Put your customized atlassian script in a directory on your path
- Put a soft link to the atlassian script in each CLI installation directory
- This makes it possible to extract the correct CLI version for your script automatically
|
Alternative- Make sure the current directory (.) is on your path
- On upgrades, copy the atlassian file to the new installation
- Edit the file and find/replace the version if necessary
