Specifying the Command or Script Name Without the Full Path in a Windows Job

When defining a job, the agent usually requires the full path to the command or script name you want to run. However, you can specify the command or script name without the full path if all of the following conditions are met:

• The agent is configured to search for paths to command or script files.

  Note: To configure the agent to search for paths, ask your agent administrator to refer to the information about the oscomponent.lookupcommand parameter in the CA Workload Automation Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows Implementation Guide.

• The script or command file is located in one of the following directories:
  • The directory the agent is installed in
  • WINDOWS\system32 directory on the agent computer
  • WINDOWS\system directory on the agent computer
  • WINDOWS directory on the agent computer
  • Any other directory whose path is set in the system path or user path on the agent computer

Example: Specify a Script Name Without the Full Path

In this example, an agent named WINAGENT runs a script named procscript.bat. The path to procscript.bat is set in the system path on the agent computer and the agent is configured to search for paths to command and script files.

AGENT WINAGENT
CMDNAME procscript.bat
