executing DXL Script via batch using parameters

Hello,

We have to run a DXL script from

  1. batch command by passing the module name
  2. have to run the same file from a module menu.           windows command file which would look like the following...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\Rational\DOORS\9.5\bin\doors.exe" -d 36678@host -b "D:\data.dxl" -u sds -P 234 -l "D:\errors.log" -W  -cli "string t=\"/ProjectA/2\""


am checking condition that if the script executing from batch getting values like below,

Module m
 m = read(t,false)

but am getting "undeclared variable t" error when i execute the same script from DOORS module menu. can anyone help me?

You're immediate problem is that your manual program has not got variable "t" defined.  You COULD put a similar "-cli" onto your doors desktop icon; but you won't know which module you want opened.

Most scripts deal with the "current" module or possibly the currently selected module "string Name = getBaseSelection_()".  I think you need to rethink the on-demand portion.

I'm thinking though you could use your envionment variables to do this.

Your batch line:

  • "-cli setenv(\"MyCleverProgram_ModuleName\", \"/ProjectA/2\")"

Your code:

  • string t = getenv("MyCleverProgram_ModuleName")

I normally use something like: 

noError();
string sValue = eval_ "t";
string errMsg = lastError()

if (!null errMsg) print "Symbol t not defined on global scope!";

to check for the existence of a command line parameter. If no parameter has been passed, then the script needs to handle this situation somehow.

Maybe this helps, regards, Mathias

Hi

You can use an environment variable.

In the batch-File ...

SET sModuleName="ProjectA/2"
C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\Rational\DOORS\9.5\bin\doors.exe" -d 36678@host -b "D:\data.dxl" -u sds -P 234 -l "D:\errors.log"

 

And inside of the dxl-Script

string sModuleName= getenv("sModuleName");

Best regards
Wolfgang
