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.

As well as the flexibility to create a program that performs virtually any operation, the behaviour of the program can also be controlled dynamically at run time.

To enable this, the Tool can pass static or dynamic command-line parameters to the program when run. The program can be run once or multiple times, depending on the way the action is configured.
