SmartStream Job Schedule return code.

unknown

Hi. I never use community before and now I need your help.

I'm executing batch script from SmartStream Job Schedule (8.0.02) and need to get a return code from Job Schedule.

I set in batch file command echo %errorlevel% and when executing it from cmd line it returns some number.

How I pass this number to get it as a return code?

Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Yakov B.

Good morning Yakov,

I am not familiar with a SmartStream Job Schedule ... but, if you are executing a batch file from a Process Flow System Command Line. Then you should be doing something like this:

EXIT %errorlevel%

Process Automation Will receive this likely as:

SysCmd_errorCode = 10

SysCmd_informationCode = %errorlevel%

Process Automation can then use the <!SysCmd_informationCode> variable to do other things with it.

NOTE: EXIT 0, is a normal successful execution. Any non 0 Exit code will throw an "Activity Error" from Process Automation, so don't use "Stop Process" on error. Use a ErrorHandler to then execute your flow accordingly.

Hi Russel and thanks a lot for updating my question.

I do use EXIT %errorlevel% in my bat file and %errorlevel% is 3 (or I can set it to any number) but SmartStream Job Schedule still returning Return Code 0. I don't know what is Process Automation and how I can pass the variable there.

But anyway, I really appreciate that you took time to look into this.

Regards,

Yakov.

Process Automation is an Infor product, the only way I can describe it is that it is a visual programming tool that allows you to visually design a process flowchart that can be executed to perform specific tasks.

I found an Infor Product called SmartStream but I have unfortunately never heard of it. I see a few Internal Only forums here on Infor Communities with the same person's name on it. I took a look and can't find them in our Corporate Directory but I did find an email address that had SmartStream in it, and I sent an email to it requesting a place we could route your question to get an answer.

Until then...

Is SmartStream something you call/access from your bat file? Is it a web call? java program? other?

The name SmartStream does sound familiar... I believe that GEAC (another company that Infor acquired) had a product called SmartStream.

Hi Russel.

Again, I really appreciate time and effort you took to help me out. As you probably understood SmartStream is a General Ledger product that Infor inherited from GEAC when they acquired them. The job Scheduler is (as I call it) a visual Autosys where you can call delivered jobs or custom scripts (PowerShell, bat, exe) and put these jobs in any way you need to do your process. I'm working with SmartStream for almost 20 years but never had such a need I described earlier. In this particular case I need to get a Return Code from Job Schedule that I pass into my bat script as %errorlevel% variable from PowerShell script. It might sound a little complicated and I really don't want you to waist your time on it. I have some kind of workaround of this problem but it is not as elegant as option I'm tring to explore here.

Regards,

Yakov.

Hi Gary.

You are absolutely right. SmartStream is a General Ledger system Infor inherited when acquired GEAC. Unfortunately not too many companies these days are using it anymore.

Yakov.
