Using Environment Variables; Working With Command Queue Files - Symantec PCANYWHERE 12.0 User Manual

Using environment variables

Working with command queue files

Add a command to run the executable file, including the full path and any
parameters.
See "Sending a command line"
Add the list of host computers on which you want to install the software.
See "Adding remote connection items to a command queue file"
Specify the end-of-session options that you want to use.
For example, you can configure the queue file to restart the host computer if
the software that you are installing requires a restart.
See "Selecting end of session options for command queues"
You can use environment variables for command queue source and destination
files. Environment variables can be useful when you create command queue tasks
for multiple computers. Environment variables ensure that each computer carries
out the command according to the configuration of that computer.
You must place a percentage symbol (%) before and after the variable name for
the command queue to recognize the variable. For example, if you want to use a
system variable to identify a file in the Windows temporary folder named
sample.txt, type the file name as follows: %TEMP%\sample.txt
When the command queue processes an environment variable, it first searches
for a match in the user variables list. If a match cannot be found, the command
queue then searches the system environment variables list.
For more information on environment variables, see the Windows documentation.
You can add file or folder management commands, Windows command-line
commands, and remote management end-of-session commands to a queue file.
File commands include copying, moving, deleting, and renaming. Folder
management commands include creating, deleting, and synchronizing folders.
Copying or moving a file
You can manually add a command to copy or move files between the host and
remote computers. You must provide the full path to files and folders on the host
computer. You can browse directories on the remote computer.
