user input for .bat execution

[Anonymous]

I have built my job for execution by creating the .bat file. I have a context variable defined for the initial filepath. Is there a way to take an input from the user for this context variable in the .bat execution. 

At present this is what i see in the .bat file for the context variable. 

-context=Default %* 

Ideally i would like the user to update the .bat context variable with the file path. Is this possible ? If not how should i solve this problem. 

Appreciate your input. Thanks!

What if you define the context variable (lets say filepath for example) of type file and tick the option prompt?

a solution is in your question only, you achieve this by passing context file path in your context default value

Hi,

You should be able to append onto the invoking command for the bat (or sh) file:

talendjob.bat --context_param configurationPath={path to config}

Thanks
