#!F-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!CNavyBlue #!N #!Rstartsc Starting Data Explorer in Script Mode #!N #!EC #!N #!N To run Data Explorer in script mode on a workstation, you must have an account on that workstation. #!N #!N To start Data Explorer, follow these steps: #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18* #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Start the X Window System session on the workstation. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Type: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N dx -script #!EF #!N #!N #!EC When script mode starts, you will see a prompt symbol (dx>), indicating that Data Explorer is ready to accept input. (If you want to change the prompt symbol, see #!Lsdxsc,dxall548 h Using Data Explorer Script Commands #!EL .) #!N #!I0 #!N #!EF #!N #!N #!N (All of the command line options for Data Explorer are described in #!Lcmdlopt,dxall744 h Command Line Options #!EL .) #!N #!N You can type commands directly at the command line, but you may find it more convenient to create a script and submit it to Data Explorer for execution. To submit a script, type: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N include " #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18* scriptname #!EF " #!EF #!N #!N #!EC at the prompt, where #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18* scriptname #!EF is the name of the script. #!N #!N Once you have submitted a script, Data Explorer will process the commands it contains. Note that none of the direct interactor options are available in script mode: you must use the Image tool in the graphical user interface to take advantage of those options. #!N #!N After the included script has been processed, you can include another script. #!CForestGreen #!N To terminate your Data Explorer session, type: #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* quit #!EF #!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N You can also include a script name directly in the script command: add the name of the script after the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* -script #!EF option. Data Explorer will terminate automatically when it has executed the script. For example, type: #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N include "/usr/lpp/dx/samples/scripts/scriptexample" #!EF #!N #!N #!EC You will see a sequence of images created with sequencer commands. The directory #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* /usr/lpp/dx/samples/scripts #!EF contains examples for many modules. You may find it helpful to experiment with them to learn how they function. Note: To ensure that an example program does not exit before you want it to, invoke script mode first and then "include" the program. Otherwise, some programs will execute and disappear so quickly that you won't be able to identify the image. #!N #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N #!Lall496,dxall497 h Setting Environment Variables #!EL #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* #!N
