Output Redirection

An Agent processes Universal Command, File Transfer/UDM, and SAP task types differently than Windows and Linux/Unix task types. Universal Command, File Transfer/UDM, and SAP command lines are sent to the user process via standard input, so any redirection operators entered as task command input are not processed as expected.

If you want to direct output from a Universal Command task to your file system, the -uagstdio command option lets you specify the same output redirection commands that are available for Windows and Linux/Unix task types. UAG will apply the user-specified value for -uagstdio directly to the command image.

The I/O redirection commands that you can use with -uagstdio are dependent on the OS/command shell. You should be able to set up any redirection that the OS/command shell supports (just as with Windows and Unix/Linux task types).

The syntax of -uagstdio is similar to Universal Command, Universal Data Mover, and Universal Connector command line options; option followed by value.

For the Universal Command task type, you can specify uagstdio in either of the following fields:

-uagstdio Examples

Panel


Html bobswift
<pre>
-uagstdio >C:\UNIVERSAL COMMANDOUT\Universal Command.out
</pre>



If the -uagstdio value contains spaces, it must be enclose in double quotation marks ( " ):

Panel


Html bobswift
<pre>
-uagstdio ">C:\UNIVERSAL COMMANDOUT\Universal Command.out 2>C:\UNIVERSAL COMMANDOUT\Universal Command.err"
</pre>



If the quoted value itself requires double quotation marks, they must be doubled ( "" ):

Panel


Html bobswift
<pre>
-uagstdio ">C:\tmp\""Universal Command output""\Universal Command.out 2>C:\tmp\""Universal Command output""\Universal Command.err"
</pre>
