Running scripts

[mhargreaves]

Is it possible to run a script from a command line?

I would like to be able to create scripts to add/remove/update datapoints/datapoint types, to allow us to build a database from an input file.

At the moment as far as I can see, you can only add datapoints with the import ascii function - we would also like to be able to delete points so we can start from a 'blank' database and then import.

Hi,

I guess running a WCCOActrl.exe with -Proj and script name should be working fine.

Can you please describe in detail what "blank" database means in detail?

Please note that you cannot delete all datapoints and datapoint types. If internal datapoint types and datapoints are missing the project or single managers will not start.

We also have a 'blank' database. It means that we delete some on the non-internal datapoints.
But why not just keep this \\db folder and copy the entire \\db.

1) You can't use Ascii manager to delete stuff !
2) Copying the \\db folder will be much faster

good luck

share the fun

What I actually really meant was a 'baseline' database, containing our standard datapoint types and datapoints, that we can use as a starting point before adding any project specific items to for each project we engineer.
