Adding Interpreters

You can add additional interpreters to use in the OS Command component.

  1. From the Isight Design Gateway Edit menu, select Preferences.

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Expand the Components folder on the left side of the dialog box, and select OS Command.

  3. Verify that the Scripts tab is displayed.

  4. Click Add located on the right side of the dialog box.

  5. In the Details area, set the following options, as desired.

    Option Description
    Name Enter a name for the interpreter. The name appears in the OS Command Type list on the OS Command Component Editor.

    Note: The names of the interpreters must be unique.

    Executable Enter the full path to the interpreter. You can also click Browse to locate the interpreter.
    Extension Enter the interpreter extension. For example, Windows batch files need the “bat” extension.
    Arguments Enter any default arguments for the interpreter.

    Note: When the OS Command executes, the executable for the interpreter is loaded from the OS Command preferences. If the preferences are unavailable, such as on SIMULIA Execution Engine stations, the executable information from the component is used. An error message is generated if the interpreter is not found during the OS Command component’s execution.

  6. If you are working in a SIMULIA Execution Engine environment, set any affinities, as desired.

    You can use the affinity options to control which stations can execute the component when working in a SIMULIA Execution Engine environment. You can specify the operating system, station name, or other information pertaining to the component. For more information about the affinities, see Configuring the Affinities.

  7. If desired, select the interpreter from the list, and change the appropriate information.

    To delete an interpreter, select the interpreter from the list, and click Delete.

  8. Click OK to save your changes and to close the dialog box.
