Introduction

EasyMorph Server Command Line Client (in further text – ems-cmd) allows you to run server commands via REST API.

Requirements

1. OS Windows x86/x64 with .Net 4.5 or later
2. Morph.Server.Sdk.dll (deployed together with ems-cmd). Also hosted on github
3. EasyMorph Server 1.2 or higher (installed on a separate PC)

Download

ems-cmd comes together with EasyMorph Server. Also it can be downloaded separately

General command format:

ems-cmd <commad> <host> -param1 value1 -param2 "value two"

where

• <command> - command to execute. See Commands section for details.
• <host> - Server host like http://192.168.100.200:6330.

exit codes

ems-cmd may return one of the following exit codes:

• 0 ems-cmd was successfully run to completion.
• 1 A fatal error occurred during command parsing or execution.

Authorization

For password protected spaces you should pass password via command parameter -password.

ems-cmd upload http://192.168.100.200:6330  -space Default -password your_password -source D:\your\local\folder\file.xml -target \

In the example above, a session will be opened for the specified space Default, of course if password was correct. In case of incorrect password or public spaces, error will be thrown. Some hash computations are applied to the password before it is sent to the server.

Start the task

This command will start specified task and wait until it is done.

To start the task you need to know space name and the task ID. Make sure to check the task execution server log to determine task execution info.

ems-cmd run http://192.168.100.200:6330 -space Default -taskID 59b824f0-4b81-453f-b9e0-1c58b97c9fb9

Parameters

• -space - space name, e.g. Default
• -taskID - task guid.
• -param:XXX ZZ - set task parameter XXX with value ZZ.

Task guid can be found in the browser location toolbar. E.g, if you have clicked on the edit task link, your browser location seems to be http://localhost:6330/default/tasks/edit/59b824f0-4b81-453f-b9e0-1c58b97c9fb9, where 59b824f0-4b81-453f-b9e0-1c58b97c9fb9 - is a desired value

If you want to pass (or override) parameters that were defined in morph project, add -param:XXX ZZ to ems-cmd execution line. Where XXX is a parameter name and ZZ is a parameter value. At least one space between parameter name and parameter value is required.

E.g. If you've defined parameter Timeout in your morph project, and want to set it to 73 use -param:Timeout 73. Pay attention, that parameters are case sensitive.

Examples:

Set parameter Rounds to 10 : -param:Timeout 73

Set parameter Full name to John Smith : -param:"Full name" "John Smith"

Set parameter From Date to the 10th of December 2000 : -param:"From Date" "2000-12-10" (ISO 8601 date format)

Output

Attempting to start task 59b824f0-4b81-453f-b9e0-1c58b97c9fb9
Project 'sample.morph' is running. Waiting until done.
