Hello group,
I have an exe file that I need to execute through Control-M. The problem is that this exe file requires a password as an input parameter.
So the command looks like the following:
test.exe -d <date> -u <username> -p <password>
is there any way to send the password so that nobody can see it either in the command line or through the sysout?
Can I encrypt it somehow?
Kind Regards
Dimitris
Password as an input paramete for a Command Task
There is many ways:is there any way to send the password so that nobody can see it either in the command line or through the sysout?
You can do in windows a .bat file that do the command.
At the begin of this batch file write:
@echo off
so you dont see the command executed in the sysout.
And in the command write:
test.exe -d %1 -u %2 -p %3
So if someone read the batch file dont see any pass.
And in the "set panel" set the parameters:
PARM1=<date>
PARM2=<username>
PARM3=<password>
If this is not the answer because you dont want to have the password in the set panel: use the LIBMEMSYM file to set variables.
Infact this file resides on the controlm server and the conten is not seen in the set panel (and the file can be not accessible for users).
I will use the following way:
enter that exe command, with all parameters into bat script (start script with @echo off).
convert that bat script into exe (search for BAT2EXE converter).
Et voila! You have exe script with username and password inside, and no one can see it. And that should work, I already tested it once, worj without problem.
enter that exe command, with all parameters into bat script (start script with @echo off).
convert that bat script into exe (search for BAT2EXE converter).
Et voila! You have exe script with username and password inside, and no one can see it. And that should work, I already tested it once, worj without problem.
Hello,
i tried the LIBMEMSYM approach and it seems it works...except from ine little part.
Follow the simple example below to understand:
I have a bat file called a.bat
The file runs the command echo %1
I create a command task to Control-M that runs the following: a.bat %%PARM1
It runs succesfully and here is the sysout:
c:\a.bat Parameter 1
echo Parameter
Parameter
Job Object statistic
====================
Total User CPU Time: 0.016 second
Total Kernel CPU Time: 0.031 second
This Period Total User CPU Time: 0.016 second
This Period Total Kernel CPU Time: 0.031 second
Total Page Fault Count: 746
As it is obvious, I can see the submitted command the value of the parameter and the outcome of the command.
If I put @echo off in the bat file before the command execution, in the sysout again I see
c:\a.bat Parameter 1
Parameter
That is the command that is sent from Control-M and the outcome.
How can I hide the c:\a.bat Parameter 1 line...I do not want for anyone oto see it in the sysout.

Dimitris

The %%PARMn is for the JOB tasktype !I create a command task to Control-M that runs the following: a.bat %%PARM1
It runs succesfully and here is the sysout:
c:\a.bat Parameter 1
So do the following:
- In the general panel on desktop:
tasktype JOB
path C:\
fileName a.bat
- in the set panel:
PARM1=test
- in the execution panel NODEID the name of the agent machine where a.bat is saved.
- write+upload and run the job
-
Admin007
Can @echo off be used for AIX UNIX scripts as well? We have UNIX scripts that contain sensitive password info and do not want it to show in the sysout. I've made changes to the Control-M configuration file to suppress exported information in the sysout but for some reason when run as task type JOB, the password is still visible in the sysout. If run as a task type COMMAND the password is suppressed.
