Fetching Central Options Cache Data into a script running on the SEM user's workstation
Sysgem::SEMAuthSvrOptionsCacheFetch()
Perl scripts running on the SEM user's workstation can fetch data from a file held in the "Central Options Cache" on the SEM Authorization Server by using the following SEM API command:
use Sysgem; my $directory = "TestFolder"; # name of the subdirectory in the options cache my $file = "TestFile.txt"; # name of the file to read my $tempfile = ""; # for path to local temporary file my $path = $directory . "\\" . $file; # # retrieve the file # my $retval = Sysgem::SEMAuthSvrOptionsCacheFetch($path, $tempfile, $error);
The Central Options cache folder is located:
\Program Files\Sysgem\SEM OptionsCache
An Example Task Script
You can create a test SEM Task using this API by copying the script shown below and pasting it into the "Agent - Windows NT" script of a new SEM Task.
Run the SEM Task after first creating a test folder and a test file under the Central Options Cache on the Authorization Server.
The test folder and file to be created is:
\Program Files\Sysgem\SEM OptionsCache\TestFolder\TestFile.txt.
The content of this test file will be printed by the following example SEM Task script:
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# |
# Windows NT script (PERL). |
# |
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#
#
#
# fetch the content of file directly from the Central AuthServer to a local file
# - out of a sub-folder in the Central Options Cache
#
use Sysgem;
#
# the file path from the Options cache
#
my $directory = "TestFolder"; # name of the subdirectory in the options cache
my $file = "TestFile.txt"; # name of the file to read
my $tempfile = ""; # for path to local temporary file
my $path = $directory . "\\" . $file;
#
# retrieve the file
#
my $retval = Sysgem::SEMAuthSvrOptionsCacheFetch($path, $tempfile, $error);
#
# show the path to the local temporary file created
#
print "Path to temporary file : [$tempfile]\n\n";
#
# print the content of the file
#
if (open TEMPFILE, "< $tempfile")
{
my @lines = <TEMPFILE>;
close TEMPFILE;
print "-- <Start of temporary file> --\n";
foreach my $item (@lines)
{
print "$item";
}
print "-- <End of temporary file> --\n\n";
}
else
{
print "can't open temp file [$tempfile]\n";
}
#
# tidy up
#
unlink($tempfile);
print "Temporary file removed\n";
SEM Task Output:
The output from the above example task script is shown below:
