[Anthill-pro] AHP 3.4.10 Setting properties at project level

[Mathew Joseph]

Eric,

I was thinking of the shell extensions approach.. But when running from
current directory

we use 

./script.sh for linux

and script.bat for windows


so its not just the extension but the way in which the script is
called..

i could then do it by having a property called scriptPrefix which has
"./" for linux and "" for windows..


it would then result in the the script being called as
${property:scriptPrefix}script${property:scriptExtension}

Mathew,

As an alternative, you could add a variable to each of these agents
called "shell_extension". On unix machines it would resolve to .sh and
on windows, .bat. 

Then you would just execute script.${shell_extension} . 

Does that seem like a workable approach?

        Hi There,
          I want to be able to change the script that I call based on
        the agent
        OS. i.e. script.bat if its windows and script.sh if its linux.
        The agent
        has properties to distinguish what OS it is using.
          I presume this would be a 3 step process.
        
        Step 1: Define a property at the workflow level called say,
        scriptName.
        
        Step 2: Have a evaluate script step in my job that checks the
        agent OS
        and assigns this property as script.bat or script.sh
        
        Step 3: The next step in the job (shell builder step) uses the
        property
        to run the script. Something like ${property:scriptName}
        
        Is this how you would approach this problem?
        
        Is it possible to modify a workflow/project level property from
        within a
        job?
