Pass variable to exe

[DotNetBuddha]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to pass a variable as a command line parameter to an .exe

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to pass parameter to an exe. It is available with Automation Anywhere Server 6.0.4.

Please find below the instructions to run exes with command line arguments.

Syntax: /AAServerMgr /var$variablename1$=variablevalue1;$variablename2$= variablevalue2

For e.g. "C:\Automation Exes\Verizon.exe" /AAServerMgr /var$usrnm$=automation;$passwd$=anywhere

In above example $usrnm$ & $passwd$ are value type variables.

Please note:

There is no space between this command-line argument and its value type variable as shown in example. The variables are separated by semi-colon (.

You will need to define these value type variables first in the task and then you can use them in the command line.

Hope that helps.
