Hi All,

I have a question whether it is possible to invoke some existing report by using windows command prompt? I know that it is possible to invoke some report via Web Service but I do not know if there is another possibility to do that.


Thanks in advance.

if you mean from \ibi\srv76\wfs\bin>

yes there are 3 options either

edastart -f <script> Run server with input from file, output to file
input:<script>.t3i output:<script>.t3o

edastart -x "" Run server with single command as input
Terminal is used for output

edastart -t Run server with interactive input
Terminal is used for input/output

there is no output to a browser from any option but files can be directed to specific
locations using filedef.

edastart -f is frequently used for a form of batch processing.

Can you tell me where i can find information for the EDASTART Command and the Script that can be executed by it?

Documentation can be found here

Note do not start edastart -f directly from the \wfs\bin directory
as all temporary files will be written there.

Instead call it from the \wfs\tst directory using ..\bin\edastart -f scriptfile
