14.8 dcmjexe.exe (executing a job)

This section describes the dcmjexe command, which executes a job.

Function

This command executes a job defined in the parameter file. You can specify only one job to be executed in the JOB_ATTRIBUTE tag.

Format

dcmjexe.exe /i parameter-file-name /o output-file-name

Arguments

• /i

  In the argument /i, specify the full path name of the parameter file to be used.

  You can also use the output file output by the dcmcoll command (with /s specified), the dcminst command (with /s specified), or the dcmsusp command (with /s specified) as the parameter file.

• /o

  In the argument /o, specify the full path name of the output file. When this command ends normally, the items listed below are output to the specified output file. Any data already contained in the output file is overwritten.

  • Job name

  • Job number

  • Path name of job storage folder

  The job number (jobno value) identifies the job that is started. When you need to delete the job or check the job status, write the jobno value to the parameter file. The output file can be used as a parameter file for the dcmjbrm, dcmrtry, dcmstat, and dcmstsw commands.

Correspondence between the specification contents of parameter file and command arguments

This command always requires a parameter file. Some contents of the parameter file, however, can also be specified in command arguments. The following table shows the specification contents of the parameter file and the command arguments corresponding to them.

Command format to be used when the contents of the parameter file are specified in command arguments

The following shows the command format to be used when you specify the job registration date and time, job execution date and time in command arguments.

dcmjexe.exe /i parameter-file-name /o output-file-name

The following example shows use of this command to execute the Collect-slip-file-0001 job stored in the batch-definition folder in the managing server.

Creating the parameter file

Specify the folder storing the job to be executed and the name of the job as shown below, and then save the parameter file under any name.

** dcmjexe Parameter File Sample
 
JOB_ATTRIBUTE{
job_generator= Collect-slip-file-0001
job_folder= \batch-definition
} 

Executing the command

To store the created parameter file as C:\Dmbat\dcmjexe.txt and acquire the output file as C:\Dmbat\out.txt, specify the command as follows:

dcmjexe.exe /i C:\Dmbat\dcmjexe.txt /o C:\Dmbat\out.txt

Contents of the output file

When the command ends normally, the job name and job number of the executed job and the path name of job storage folder (storing the executed job) are output to the file C:\Dmbat\out.txt as follows:

JOB_ATTRIBUTE{
job_generator= Collect-slip-file-0001
jobno= JB03121113315383
job_folder= \batch-definition
