Starting the Command Line Client

You can start the Command Line Client from the command line or from the Start menu in Windows.

  1. Start the Command Line Client using one of the following options:

    • Windows: Click the Start button, point to All Programs / SIMULIA Execution Engine x.x, and click Command Line.

    • From a command prompt, navigate to the SIMULIA Execution Engine installation directory, and execute one of the following commands:

      • Windows: <SEE_install_dir>\<os_dir>\code\command\fipercmd.bat

      • Linux: <SEE_install_dir>/<os_dir>/code/command/fipercmd

    The Logon dialog box appears.

  2. To log on to the SIMULIA Execution Engine, first do one of the following:

    • To connect to a predefined SIMULIA Execution Engine, select the desired profile from the Connection profile list.

    • If you want to alter an existing profile, select it from the Connection profile list, and click the button. The Profile Editor dialog box appears, allowing you to change the profile settings.

    • If the connection profile you want to use is not present in the list, you can create one by clicking the button. The Profile Editor dialog box appears.

    Note: You can set up the Command Line Client to allow you to log in using the console mode. In this mode, you set the connection profile and login information from the command prompt. For more information on this option, see Using the Command Line Client in the Isight User’s Guide.

  3. Specify a user ID and password in the corresponding text boxes.
  4. Click OK.

    The Command Line Client is ready when the > prompt appears.

    There are numerous commands available for this interface. For example, to display a list of all jobs in the SIMULIA Execution Engine, use the following command:

    jobstatus

    For more information on the other options available when using the Command Line Client, see Using the Command Line Client in the Isight User’s Guide.

    Note: The typical command-shell editing keys can be used in the Command Line Client: up/down arrows to recall previous commands, right/left arrows to edit a command.

  5. Type quit to exit the Command Line Client.
