Command output connector

The Command output connector enables you to use commands to specify the output destination. The connector settings are described below.

Setting	Description
Command	The command to execute. You can use a one-line command, or enter the path to a batch file or a script. When passing output to an external application, use %1 in the command string to specify the temporary path to the file containing the output data. One-line command example Physical "<[cmd=cat %1 > kv.$destination]>" Path example C:\project\myname.bat
Timeout	The time (seconds) to wait for a result. Timeout = 0 means wait forever.

Specifying an exit code for successful jobs

You can use the custom keyword CmdValidExitCode <num> to set the exit code for successful jobs. The number <num> is interpreted as the exit code for a successful job, and all other exit codes are interpreted as failure.

You can add CmdValidExitCode <num> to either the logical or physical Platform layer of the Command connector in the Edit Custom fields dialog box in Design Center.

See Using custom commands and keywords in the Design Center documentation for more information about how to add custom commands and keywords.
