| Description User needs to logon to telnet server, send a command, and save the results of his command to a local file |
| Solution 1) Create a Telnet or Telnet(Adv) task. When the Telnet task is run, every response from the Telnet server is stored as a Variable in Automize. Please see the help section on Task Variables for details. The variable name is of the form: task_title::ResponseX, where X is the response number and task_title is the telnet task title 2) After sending the users telnet command, Automize receives data from the server. This data is stored in the variable task_title::Response4. 3) Create a File Variable task, using the following settings: Variable Name = task_title::Response4 Full Filepath = c:\data\telnet_data.txt Filing Options = Create new file or overwrite exisiting file Option Value = [leave empty] 4) Create a Chain task with the following steps: step 1 = Telnet task step 2 = File Variable task The telnet task will generate/update the value of the variable task_title::Response4. The File Variable task will write the results out to telnet_data.txt. |
