Hello everybody!

I need put variable to qvw document, which I reload with EDX command from cmd file.

Do we have any solutions about send variable from EDX trigger?

Isn't that part of the API?

Are you using a certain tool or calling the API from your own written software?

No, I'm using cmd file with next text:

D:\.....\QMSEDX.exe -task="[UAT ANALYZER] COMPARE APP/Client 1.qvw" -password="client1"

There might be several versions of the command line application around, have you tried looking into the available command line options? (e.g. using only -help option?)

The command line executable is most likely also supporting passing the variable, have a look at

EDX Call with Variables

Thank you very much!

"D:\.....\QMSEDX.exe" -task="[UAT ANALYZER] COMPARE APP/Client 1.qvw" -password="client1" -variablename="vVarFromEDX" -variablevalues="2345"

It works.
