How to Retrieve Content of REP when it is still On Agent

[Edward Teoh]

Hi All,

Understand that to read a report, I can use PREP_PROCESS_REPORT when the object execution is completed and when the report is "In Automation Engine".

May I know how can I read a report when the object is still running and the report is "On Agent".

Hi,

I haven't tried that, but I assume you can read the report file using PREP_PROCESS_FILE. The file is at the given path.

Hi @Markus Embacher ,

Thank you for sharing on this. My challenge encountered using PREP_PROCESS_FILE is that, I would like to read the file path "/opt/automic/serviceanager/.../OABKLTQB.TXT" as show in the screen in. May I get your advice, how can we do that via script?

Hi,

there is a number of virtual agent variables that contain information about the agent: 

https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/AA/12.3/DOCU/12.3/Automic%20Automation%20Guides/help.htm#AWA/AdministrationPerspective/AG_Agent_Variables.htm

You can use a script like this to get the file name:

:SET &PATH#=GET_VAR(UC_EX_PATH_JOBREPORT,"<name of the agent>")
:SET &ID7#=RUNNR2ALPHA(<runid of the job>)
:SET &FILE#="&PATH#O&ID7#.TXT"
:PRINT &FILE#
