Unix

• In order to directly run Node.js® script code from a JS7 shell job script the recommended approach is to use a shebang like this:

  Code Block
  language js title Example how run Node.js® script code with a shebang linenumbers true
  #!/usr/bin/node var name =(process.env.name); var num = parseInt(process.env.num); //print value of variable    console.log( name); console.log( num);

• As a bad alternative the Node.js® executable can be invoked directly and can be parameterized like this
• Node.js® script can be executed from a file that has to be located by the executing Agent:

node  /home/{User}/JS7-2.5.1/demo_Node.js

In order to directly run Node.js® script code from a JS7 shell job script the recommended approach is to use a shebang replacement like this:

@@findstr/v "^@@f.*&" "%~f0"|node.exe -&goto:eof

var name =(process.env.name);
var num = parseInt(process.env.num);

//print value of variable   
console.log( name);
console.log( num);

e.g. @@findstr/v "^@@f.*&" "%~f0"|node.exe -&goto:eof

Last but not least a Node.js® script can be executed from a file that has to be located by the executing Agent:
