Does HAD support any other languages aside from javascript? e.g python, powershell. Can I build a service plugin that executes a script written in python? If yes, what python environments are supported by default? Can I install additional python modules as needed?
Thanks
Julian
Hi Julian,
I have not seen any python plugins but as an alternative you could use the Terminal plugin. So by using the Terminal plugin you could authenticate with the VM via ssh or telnet and run your python code from that VM.
Kind Regards
Hello, Julian,
Thank you for your query.
HAD can invoke Python and Powershell but it is necessary to install additional Python modules. There is no dependency of version.
Thank you,

Hi Yuki,
Please can you advise where we can find these modules. Both the HAD User Guide as well as the Service Builder User Guide does not make mention of these modules.
Many thanks
Johnny
Hi Yuki,
Is the python environment installed automatically as part of the HAD installation? Can you provide a little more insight or point me to any documentation that goes into that in more detail.
Thanks
Julian
Hi Julian Bici , Johnny Koen ,
HAD doen't contain python environment and doen't install automaticlly.
However, HAD has capability to run command on the local host (HAD server) or on the remote host via ssh/rpc. So, by using the capability, you can run python script as one of the steps of HAD workflow.
Anyway, HAD doesn't couple with the enviornment tightly, so no dependency with version.
There is two way to do.
1. General Command Plugin, Terminal Command Plugin
This is built-in plugin, so by drag&drop and specifying parameters, you can run python script.
General Command Plug-in - Hitachi Data Systems Knowledge
2. Create Custom Plugin
This is more flexible way. You can create your own plugin which has arbitrary input / output properties, and you can embed you script (e.g. shell script, python script) or just write command. At the timing of execution, the script will be sent to target host and run the script. So if python is installed in the host, you can run python script by using script.
Hi All,
Good News!
JavaScript plug-in has been available for users to embed code into HAD services for flexible data processing. Now Python Plug-in has been supported in v8.5.3.
Users can now embed Python code into HAD services or leverage existing Python scripts to extend automated workflows.
Please take a look new HAD features.

Awesome, so stoked! Downloading 8.5.3 shortly!
