Hi Community,

I had a query,

Can we call context variables in tSystem component.

And we are executing a unix command then can we call the same through context variables.

Pls help.

Thanks,

Hi @TRF ,

Hope you are doing good!!!

i was trying to execute a command in tsystem which would trigger Tableau report refresh,but when i embed the command in tsystem, the job gets succeeded but report is not refreshed.

Example Command -> tabcmd context.server context.folder -u context.username -p context.password

Note -> this is not the exact command.

Could you pls help me on this and how exactly unix commands must be executed in tsystem. Should i follow some standards also can i use tSSH instead of tsystem in this scenario.

Thanks,

Ankit

Error : Tabcmd was run from a script or IDE but no password was provided. A password must be provided as an argument to tabcmd in order to log in.

So tSystem Command field should be completed with the following:
context.Tabcmd + " " + context.Parameters
where:
- Tabcmd context variable contains full your script file pathname
- Parameters context variable contains... what you need to pass to the script (should be constructed dynamically by the job)
