Custom:execute

Method

Purpose

This method (on all platforms) executes a command and ignores the result.

Remarks

If this method call is performed within an action, you can provide parameters for a script or program by using variable substitution. Variable substitution will insert information into the command from the rule’s data source.

When using this method on the OS/400 platform, only commands that start with system (when using a CL command) and qsh (when using Q shell utilities) are supported. Use the -c option when using the qsh command.

Examples,

qsh -c ls
system DSPDTAARA DTAARA (<LibName>/<Data Area Name>)

Type

Synchronous, IMPACT_ACTION.

All shell scripts called from your TIBCO Hawk environment must define the shell, for example #!/bin/csh.
