External Object: Command Line

Allows to run batch files on premise and private cloud VMs or computers. Here are some examples:

The device (VM/computer) to run this object must use an Windows OS.

With the current version, the device must be assigned your ETL+ Master Device.

• To configure this object:

  • Alias: Enter an alias

  • Program/Script: Enter the path and batch file name.

  • Arguments: In many cases, this is optional to provide the batch file with parameters.

• You can then run these objects manually by cliking their Run icon, and/or schedule to run them as part of your ETL+ Jobs.

• You can also use the … icon for deleting the script, and assigning Tags (if needed).
