[SOLVED] command to run focexec on different server

I have a focexec that I need to run on 3 servers to obtain data from each server and combine it into a single report.

I want to create a focexec that will run the above focexec on each server, then will access and merge the data retrieved in 3 hold files to create the final report.

What is the command to get a focexec to run on a specific server?

Thank you.

Have you looks at the documentation ?

Check out REMOTE commands

REMOTE DEST
REMOTE USER
REMOTE PASS
-REMOTE BEGIN
-REMOTE END

Here is a simple example that calls another session on the same WebFOCUS sever.

REMOTE DEST = LOOPBACK

-REMOTE BEGIN

TABLE FILE SYSTABLE
PRINT COMPUTE TEMPDIR/A60 = TEMPPATH(60,'A60');
BY    NAME 
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS TEMP_LOC
END
-REMOTE END

TABLE FILE TEMP_LOC
PRINT 
      COMPUTE
      LOC_DIR/A60 = TEMPPATH(60,'A60');
                 AS 'Local Temp Location'
OVER  TEMPDIR    AS 'Remote Temp Location'

END


To implement this on another server is the same process, but the server you are running on must have the remote server defined.

If the running of fex is going to happen in Remote servers, Just for Data fetching, and you are going by the Master File approach...

TABLENAME=REMOTESERVERNAME/TABLENAME

Which will fetch the data from the remote server...


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

JBK,

First you need to provide the user credentials and connection name.

For Example,
Below are the signin procedure code:

ENGINE EDA SET USER CONNECTION NAME/USERNAME,PASSWORD
ENGINE EDA SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION CONNECTION NAME

Then in your report procedure, you would use

-REMOTE BEGIN
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS REPORT FORMAT WP
END
-REMOTE END

Waz, the reason I posted this is because I didn't know what the command was, so I was not able to find it in the documenation.

Thank you.

Sometimes you have to sift through the documentation to find what you want.

Here is a link to the ECL (Enterprise Content Library) search engine, it may help
