job parameter

[agpt]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to pass value returned by a unix script as a job parameter?

[anbu]

Code: Select all

dsjob ... -param retValue=$(Unix_Script)

[agpt]

Code: Select all

dsjob ... -param retValue=$(Unix_Script)

thanks Anbu... Suppose I am using exec command stage for the same and the next job in the seq is user activity . how do i pass then ?

[anbu]

Use commandOutput of Exec activity

[agpt]

Use commandOutput of Exec activity

what do i give in that? parameter name?

[anbu]

Assign this as expression to the variable defined in User Activity

Code: Select all

<Exec_Activity_Name>.$CommandOutput

Don't try to type it in manually, use the "..." Parameter Helper to make the proper choice and fill it in for you.

Craig,

I believe same method can be used to pass multiple parameters if multiple values are returned by script?

[chulett]

Yes. It can only return one result but you could parse one of multiple delimited values from there for different parameters.
