User manual BUSINESS OBJECTS EDJOB 7.70C

[. . . ] There is no special, separate procedure for installing Edjob. When you install a software release, we place the latest version of Edjob in your adm subdirectory, and we place an update script in the appropriate software subdirectory (see diagram). postware or pw adm dtr_iq pwace or ace merge or mpg presort or pst pf Your one an only copy of the Edjob program file belongs here in adm. The update script file belongs in the software directory. Note: Only a portion of our product line is shown here. Other products are installed similarly. Please use the Edjob program and scripts exactly as they are installed. [. . . ] When you name job files, be sure to use the file name extensions listed below. If you use other extensions, Edjob will not be able to update your jobs. By default, Edjob backs up each job file before updating it. The backup has the same name as the job file, but with a different extension as listed below.

It does not present any menus or displays. You control the program by adding options to your Edjob command line. For your convenience, these command-line options are also listed in our Quick Reference. DOS or Windows UNIX edjob [/cnsbx] [/v | /V | /vv] [/e:error_file] [script. upd] jobfile edjob [-cnsbx] [-v | -V | -vv] [-e:error_file] [script. upd] jobfile Elements of the command line edjob If the ADM directory is in your PATH setup, your operating system should be able to find the Edjob program. Otherwise, you may need to type out the full path to the executable program file (edjob or edjob. exe) Remove excess blank lines so that the maximum number of contiguous blank lines (between blocks) will be x (1-9). Suppress the prompt for confirmation that normally appears before each job file is edited. When using a list file or wildcard, include the c switch in your command line. bx c e Log errors in the log file. Normal progress messages still go to the screen (standard out). This option is handy for overnight processing, because Edjob does not stop on errors. The log file contains one line per jobfile found. Even if there is no error, the file name is logged; so the log is a handy way to verify that a particular job was updated. Recursively search for job files in all subdirectories. Normally, Edjob backs up each job file before updating it (for example, jobfile. ace is backed up to jobfile. aed). If you don't feel that this backup is necessary or you can't spare the disk space, add the n option to suppress the backup. We recommend allowing Edjob to create this backup file. Usually, Edjob can find the update script by itself, and you don't need to include the file in your command line. Sometimes we publish a special patch script, and then you need to include a full path. [. . . ] C:\pw\adm\edjob /s C:\ada\jobs\*. job Here's a similar example for ACE jobs. This time, however, the prompt for confirmation is suppressed, and no backup copies are made. C:\pw\adm\edjob /cns D:\ina\jobs\*. ace Note: For the previous command line examples, you may omit C:\pw\ adm\ if you have already defined the path. UNIX The following command suppresses the normal confirmation and backup. Edjob starts in Barbara's user directory and looks for Label Studio jobs in all subdirectories below it. [. . . ]
