Creating a Command Line Process

When you select the Command Line process from the Select Process Type dialog box, the Command Line dialog box is displayed. Use the command line to specify operating system commands or batch files.

Note: The CommandLineProcess parameter in the web.config file on the Q&A DataLink Server controls whether command line tasks can be added, edited and run. See the Query & Analysis Configuration Guide for details.
  1. Specify a command or the batch file to run.
    For example, if you have a batch file called C:\temp\mybatch.bat, then specify start c:\temp\mybatch.bat
    Note: If a file path specified in the Command Line dialog box contains spaces, then enclose the path in double quotes (" "), or the process will not run.
  2. Click OK.
    The command line is added as a process.
