Open Session

If you try to run two policies containing SSH objects at the same time, then unexpected errors can occur. For example, the first policy can send commands in the SSH session created by the second policy. These errors occur because a class which handles the SSH connection is static.

This Automation Manager object opens/connects SSH session to a device. This object is a prerequisite for all other SSH objects.
