USE WOBDATA to pass PSLIST/TASKLIST variables to another wob

[John malczyk]

​After a TASKLIST command, I see the PID of a process that is running.  I attempted to extract that PID using WOBDATA, but have been unsuccessful.  Here is what I tried.

 PID1 = WOBDATA('SCWKLDD2/WORECURS.4091','PID')

Here is the tasklist spool file I'm trying to retrieve the PID from

Hi John,

As I learned, ONLY the listed ones in the doc can be used currently:
https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/automation/ca-workload-automation-esp-edition/11-4/reference/statements/wobdata-statement-retrieve-data-from-workload-object.html

And PID is not on the list. And I can see it's a good idea to have it. If you would like, please post an idea for enhancement consideration:

Thank you,

Lucy

Lucy,

Can you provide an example of capturing the STDOUT from a WOB, preferably a Windows NT job.

Thanks,

Hi Len,

There is one example in the above doc link, you can just change STDERR to STDOUT:

Example: Retrieve the variable STDERR from a Windows workload object

This example shows how to assign ABC the value of the variable STDERR from the Windows workload object PAYJOB4 in generation 2 of the PAYROLL application. You can use the STDERR variable to capture the STDERR file name from the agent.

ABC = WOBDATA('PAYJOB4/PAYROLL.2','STDERR')

Thank you,

Lucy
