Execute Tools

Executes an external application, procedure or object, allowing developers to control the precise result of this tool when utilising proprietary systems.

Execute Tools - Run Program

The Run Program Tool may be used to run self-terminating shell executable programs including .exe or .bat for example, or in fact any file type that is associated with such a shell executable program. Programs can either be existing programs that exhibit the right attributes or programs specially created to provide integration with proprietary protocols, systems or applications.

Execute Tools - Call COM Object

The Call COM Object Tool is used to call third party COM Objects which provide integration with other systems, protocols or applications. The COM Object may be provided by a COM Server (.EXE) or COM .DLL written in languages such as Microsoft Visual Basic, C++ or other supporting COM and DCOM. Using this action, TaskCentre can call an object and pass either static or dynamic parameters to the object in the method call.

Execute Tools - Run VB Script

The Run VB Script Tool is used to create a Task Step that runs a VB Script file, utilising data produced by other Steps within a Task.

Execute Tools - Call Procedure (OLEDB)

The versatile Stored Procedure Tool provides the ability to execute database stored procedures and functions to provide read, write and automated data processing. The Tool supports any RDBMS with a functional OLEDB Provider thus enabling native support for a multitude of data sources. If a procedure generates a result set, the Tool can return this to other tools for format and/or delivery. Conversely, the Tool can consume a result set to enable multiple procedure calls or indeed simply execute a single procedure. Procedure calls can be passed static or dynamic parameters in order to control the precise nature of the call being made.
