Executing Expressions from command line with fsceval

First published: 14 September 2017

Summary

To execute expressions from command line, the tool fsceval is available on every Fabasoft Folio server.

Information

The fsceval tool is provided on all Fabasoft servers in a domain environment. Please be advised that this tool will initialize a Kernel instance.

Usage

Preparation on Windows

fsceval executes in the context of the logged in Windows user. fsceval will read the host and port of the COO Service 1 from the current user’s environment variables (Windows Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Fabasoft\Environment) therefore it is not required to pass the host and port parameters.

Preparation on Linux

When using fsceval on a Linux system, for all calls, you are required to specify -host <hostname> and -port <port>, where these specify host and port of the COO Service 1.

You need to login as fscsrv:

su - fscsrv

Alternatively of specifying -host and -port, you can set shell environments:

export HOST=<Backendserver (COO Service 1)>

export PORT=<PORT_COOSVC1> //z.B: 18070

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/fabasoft/share/eval/

Examples

Here are some common usage examples:

Direct expression call

fsceval -eval "COO.2127.9900.1.13.CheckContentConsistency()"

Run expression from a file

fsceval -file filewithscript.exp

Run expression from a file and output redirection to logfile

fsceval -file filewithscript.exp 2>&1 > logfile.log

Run expression from a file and trace output to screen

fsceval -file filewithscript.exp -tracetoconsole
