Running the Client Job Sender

The Client Job Sender is run on the command line, and takes two arguments when executed: the URL to the Spotfire Server, and the full path to the job file.

Prerequisites

  • You created an Automation Services job file by using the Job Builder.
  • The files Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe and Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe.config are located in the same directory.

Procedure

  • Enter the following text on the command line:
    C:> C:\Program Files\TIBCO Spotfire\Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe http://
    spotfireserver[:port] “C:\Temp\jobfile.xml”
    where:
    • C:\Program Files\TIBCO Spotfire\Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe is the path to the Job Sender tool.
    • http:// spotfireserver[:port] is the URL to the Spotfire Server.
    • C:\Temp\jobfile.xml is the full path to the job file.
    Note: To run the jobs asynchronously, that is, without waiting for the result of the job, add async at the end of the previous example. This can be useful if you want to run several jobs simultaneously.
    Note: When running the jobs asynchronously with the Client Job Sender, the result of the jobs can be found in the log file Spotfire.Dxp.Automation.ClientJobSender.exe.log located in the directory where the Client Job Sender files are located, and on the Automation Services tab in the Monitoring & Diagnostics area on the Spotfire Server.
