Triggering a process using Resource Pool

NilanjanMukhopa — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 12:08:00 GMT

Hi

I am trying to trigger a process using AutomateC.exe command line.
Is there any way I can run the process in Resource pool not in any particular resource using AutomateC.exe.

Thank you for your help

I don't see an option for running a process on a pool using AutomateC. It seems odd that you'd be able to create/delete pools and add/remove resources to and from pools but that you cannot trigger a run of a process on a pool. Maybe it's just missing from the list. Have you tried to just trigger one the usual way with /pool "PoolName"?

it'd be like...
AutomateC /sso /dbconname {ConnectionName} /run {BPProcessName} /pool {PoolName}

I'll have to try this later. I'm guessing it won't work if it's not in the documentation for AutomateC.

Actually, I just glanced at the F1 Help on Resource Pool options, and it seems pretty clearly geared toward maintenance of pools from command line, not triggering sessions through pools.

EDIT: In case anyone comes across this, I don't want to confuse anyone. After Dean replied with the KB article on how to do this, I came back to edit this post. So, here's how the above call would be changed to be correct: (Putting 'resource' where I had 'pool')
AutomateC /sso /dbconname {ConnectionName} /run {BPProcessName} /resource {PoolName}

I guess that makes sense because pools are treated just like a resource in Control Room. That should have occurred to me. Thanks, Dean. 😃
