:InvokeCommand

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to InvokeCommand.

The region ID of the command. You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

The ID of the resource group to which to assign the command executions. When you set this parameter, take note of the following items:

• The instances specified by InstanceId.N must belong to the specified resource group.
• After the command is run, you can call the DescribeInvocations or DescribeInvocationResults operation with ResourceGroupId set to query the execution results in the specified resource group.

The command ID. You can call the DescribeCommands operation to query all available command IDs.

Specifies how to run the command. Valid values:

• Once: immediately runs the command.
• Period: runs the command on a schedule. If you set this parameter to Period, you must specify Frequency.
• NextRebootOnly: runs the command the next time the instance is started.
• EveryReboot: runs the command every time the instance is started.

Default value:

• If you do not specify Frequency, the default value is Once.
• If you specify Frequency, Period is used as the value of RepeatMode regardless of whether RepeatMode is set to Period.

Take note of the following items:

• You can all the StopInvocation operation to stop the pending or scheduled executions of the command.
• If you set this parameter to Period or EveryReboot, you can set IncludeHistory to true to call the DescribeInvocationResults operation to query the results of historical scheduled executions.

The schedule on which to run the command. You can configure a command to run at a fixed interval based on a rate expression, run only once at a specified time, or run at designated times based on a cron expression.

• To run the command at a fixed interval, use a rate expression to specify the interval. You can specify the interval in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. This option is suitable for scenarios in which tasks need to be executed at a fixed interval. Specify the interval in the following format: rate(<Execution interval value><Execution interval unit>). For example, specify rate(5m) to run the command every 5 minutes. Take note of the following limits when you set an interval:
  • The specified interval can be anywhere from 60 seconds to 7 days, but must be longer than the timeout period of the scheduled task.
  • The interval is the amount of time that elapsed between two consecutive executions. The interval is irrelevant to the amount of time that is required to run the command once. For example, assume that you set the interval to 5 minutes and that it takes 2 minutes to run the command each time. Each time the command is run, the system waits 3 minutes before it runs the command again.
  • A task is not executed immediately after the task is created. For example, assume that you set the interval to 5 minutes for a task. The task begins to be executed 5 minutes after it is created.
• To run the command only once at a specified time, specify a point in time and a time zone. Specify the point in time in the at(yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss <Time zone>) format, which indicates at(Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second <Time zone>). If you do not specify a time zone, the UTC time zone is used by default. The time zone supports the following forms:
  • The time zone name. Examples: Asia/Shanghai and America/Los_Angeles.
  • The time offset from GMT. Examples: GMT+8:00 (UTC+8) and GMT-7:00 (UTC-7). If you use the GMT format, do not add leading zeros to the hour value.

  • The time zone abbreviation. Only UTC is supported.

    For example, to configure a command to run only once at 13:15:30 on June 6, 2022 (Shanghai time), set the time to at(2022-06-06 13:15:30 Asia/Shanghai). To configure a command to run only once at 13:15:30 on June 6, 2022 (UTC-7), set the time to at(2022-06-06 13:15:30 GMT-7:00).

• To run a command at specific times, use a cron expression to define the schedule. Specify a schedule in the <Cron expression> <Time zone> format. The cron expression is in the <seconds> <minutes> <hours> <day of the month> <month> <day of the week> <year (optional)> format. The system calculates the execution times of the command based on the specified cron expression and time zone and runs the command as scheduled. If you do not specify a time zone, the system time zone of the instance on which you want to run the command is used by default. For more information about cron expressions, see Cron expressions. The time zone supports the following forms:
  • The time zone name. Examples: Asia/Shanghai and America/Los_Angeles.
  • The time offset from GMT. Examples: GMT+8:00 (UTC+8) and GMT-7:00 (UTC-7). If you use the GMT format, do not add leading zeros to the hour value.

  • The time zone abbreviation. Only UTC is supported.

    For example, to configure a command to run at 10:15:00 every day in 2022 (Shanghai time), set the schedule to 0 15 10 ? * * 2022 Asia/Shanghai. To configure a command to run every half an hour from 10:00:00 to 11:30:00 every day in 2022 (UTC+8), set the schedule to 0 0/30 10-11 * ? 2022 GMT +8:00. To configure a command to run every 5 minutes from 14:00:00 to 14:55:00 every October every two years from 2022 in UTC, set the schedule to 0 0/5 14 * 10 ? 2022/2 UTC.

    Note The minimum interval must be 10 seconds or more and cannot be shorter than the timeout period of scheduled executions.

The key-value pairs of custom parameters to be passed in when the custom parameter feature is enabled. Number of custom parameters: 0 to 10.

• Keys in a Map collection can be up to 64 characters in length, and cannot be empty strings.
• Values in a Map collection can be empty strings.
• The size of the Base64-encoded custom parameters and original command content cannot exceed 18 KB.
• The custom parameter names specified in the value of Parameters must be included in the custom parameters specified when you created the command. You can use empty strings to represent the parameters that are not passed in.

The username to use to run the command on instances. The username can be up to 255 characters in length.

• For Linux instances, the root username is used by default.
• For Windows instances, the System username is used by default.

You can also specify other usernames that already exist in the instances to run the command. For security purposes, we recommend that you run Cloud Assistant commands as a regular user. For more information, see Configure a regular user to run Cloud Assistant commands.

If you do not want to use the default System user to run the command on Windows instances, specify both WindowsPasswordName and Username. To mitigate the risk of password leaks, the password is stored in plaintext in Operation Orchestration Service (OOS) Parameter Store, and only the name of the password is passed in by using WindowsPasswordName. For more information, see Encrypt parameters and Configure a regular user to run Cloud Assistant commands.
