Automation with scripts

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

If you want to create the chart automatically from your scheduling environment and save it or send it via email, you are able to call SmartIS PC Client in a batch command to do this.

You can create the script directly in SmartIS PC Client. To learn more about the script syntax, see Scripts (Batch Interface).

 

These components need to be implemented for automatic creation of charts:

Bat file to call xippc.exe with parameters

Script telling what to do and where the result should be saved

Selection file that contains the selection criteria

 

The following example will describe how to create a JPG file with an SLA Chart. The data selection file must contain year and week numbers that are forwarded from the call to the Script file.
