About automating Echoview

A licensed Automation module supports scripting for the automation of Echoview. Scripts can be written in any scripting language or any computer language that can create and use COM objects.

Scripting COM objects for the interactive automation of Echoview

Echoview provides a set of COM objects for automation. Echoview can be controlled from a script, web page, or other program.

The key advantage of this automation model is that Echoview or the user can pass information back to the script. It is possible to write scripts that can make informed decisions, request decisions from a user and pass information from Echoview to the user. If you are interested in learning more about COM automation, please contact us for further information.

Example COM automation scripts are provided on the Example scripts for COM automation page.

See Getting started with scripting and Scripting with COM objects for more information.

Echoview command interface

The Console provides a live, interactive way to use the Echoview command interface. Commands can act on Echoview, EV files and filesets, variable properties, and, to a limited extent, other dataflow objects.

Use the Properties Information window to identify supported properties. On the shortcut menu for a property, select Copy for Console to copy a Console-ready command to the clipboard. Command interface commands can also be issued from COM scripts through EvApplication.Exec().

Batch command interface commands can be imported from or exported to EC, VBScript, or Python files.
