How to Create a Batch Script to Run 360Eyes Jobs

This article explains how to create a batch script (.bat) to run 360Eyes jobs. The procedure below applies to a single job; repeat the steps if you need to run multiple jobs.

Steps to Create and Configure the Batch Script

  1. Create the Batch File

    • Open a text editor (for example, Notepad).

    • Add the command line that runs a 360Eyes job with the required arguments.

    • For details on building the command line,

    Example command line inside the batch file:

    java -Xmx1024m -cp "../libs/*;C:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib\*" com.gbs.eyes.Launcher CMS <server>:6400 <username> <password> secEnterprise C:\360eyes\

     Notes:

    • Ensure a supported JDK version is installed and correctly set in the system JAVA_HOME environment variable.

    • Replace <server>, <username>, and <password> with values from your own environment.

    • Do not include unnecessary optional arguments (for example, -forcecluster is not needed in this context).

    • Save the file with a .bat extension (for example: Run_Job.bat).

    • Place the file in the recommended location:

      C:\360eyes\tools


  1. Create the 360Eyes Job in CMC

    • When prompted, click Browse and select the .bat file you created.


  1. Run and Verify the Job

    • Trigger the job from the BOBJ scheduler.

    • Confirm the script executes and generates the expected output.

    • Check the logs to ensure the job completed successfully.
