Running Powerhouse from a script

[Ken Langendock]

Viet, here is a sample script file that is submitted
by a cron job for Unix.

#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# My program
#
PROCESSDATETIME=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
PROCESSDATE=`date +%Y%m%d`
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
qtp <<E_O_F
exec $QTC/syr990a ; Extract File
$PROCESSDATETIME
E_O_F
#
if [ -s syr990ab.sf ]
then
quiz <<E_O_F
exec $QZC/syr990b ; Report
E_O_F
cat pmr991c.txt | $PRINTER
fi
#
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# end



AND here is a sample Cron Script. Others may have a
different way of doing this, but with this you can
figure out how to set it up the way you want to.

#-----------------------------------------------------------
# cron.cmd
 
# Setup PowerHouse environment
 
        PH_USR=/usr/cognos/ph813d1
        export PH_USR
         . $PH_USR/setpow.sh
 
        # Set up the PowerHouse print environment
        #PH_PRINTER="lp -dlj4si"
        PH_PRINTER="cat > /dev/null"
        export PH_PRINTER

# Setup your application environment here
        . $HOME/setup.sh

# Set up file protection mask
        umask 002

# Submit the daily job
        nohup ksh $COM/myprogram.com &



Good luck
