[SOLVED] How to prevent creation of inline.t3i file created by edastart -x

Using edastart with the "-x" option, and perhaps other options, creates an inline.t3i file during execution. Does anyone know how to prevent creation of this file?

If you do not want this file to be created, then don't use edastart -x. This option does just that - it has to create a t3i file to be able to instruct the agent to run your command. If you do not want it the file to be left on the filesystem, you'll have to remove it yourself. There is nothing that will do this for you automatically.

inline.t3i

The inline.t3i is placed in the current directory when the EDASTART command is "issued". We run many batch jobs using EDASTART, and like to be able to run them at the same time. We have a folder named for every batch job. We control where the inline.t3i is placed by doing a change directory in the windows command file, before issuing the EDASTART. We also direct APP HOLD to the same folder. On our servers WebFocus is installed on the "D:" dirve.

A sample command file is batch file is:

echo %0 started %date% %time% >>D:\BATCHJOBS\logs\BATCHJOB1.logx
D:
if not exist BATCH\WORKAREA\BATCHJOB1 MD BATCH\WORKAREA\BATCHJOB1
CD BATCH\WORKAREA\BATCHJOB1
CMD /c D:\ibi\srv76\wfs\bin\edastart -x "EX D:\BATCHJOBS\Batch\BATCHJOB1.fex" >>D:\BATCHJOBS\logs\BATCHJOB1.logx
if not %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ERR_S4LLOAD
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto END_S4LLOAD

:END_S4LLOAD
echo %0 end done %date% %time% Return code set to 0
DEL /Q BATCH\WORKAREA\BATCHJOB1\*.*
EXIT /B 0

ERR_S4LLOAD
echo %0 end done %date% %time% Return code set to 4
EXIT /B 4

GamP and Jim,

Thank you for your help. Looks like removing the file manually/programatically, or using a parameter other than "-x" with edastart are the two options.

Jim - Thanks for the code excerpt -- helps me to get a better sense of how we could create a similar script in our environment. We run edastart under UNIX, but I can easily translate the Win32 batch file code to UNIX shell.
