Examples to Run a Task

To demonstrate the power of Web Hera, here are two examples of different ways to run ftlist from the Mission Category HEATOOLS (or from pre-populated General category).

Current Working Directory

One most important factor requires special attention is the Current Working Directory. Current working directory is the directory that the tool will be working under. Its location and contents are been displayed in User Hera Data Directory Panel. It is important to remember that once the tool has started, user cannot change current working directory until the tool is finished.

1.    First example is to run a tool against a data file resides in user’s Hera data directory.

    Select a tool

    Select an input file

Click on User Current Working Directory to select an input file.

Click the inside the entry box, and use Control-v to paste the selection (OSX: use Command-v.)

	Control-v (Command-v on OSX) to paste

 

    Update Other Parameter Values

Update other parameter values to run the tool.

    Run the tool

Click  to start

    Check the output

Output would be displayed in the Command Window Terminal.

 

2.     Second example applies to run tools using data file resides in user’s Hera data account that produce an output file. After the run, the newly created output file will be placed in user’s current Hera working directory.

    Same as in example 1,  but adding “output.txt” as the output file.

 

 

 

    At end of operation, check user’s Hera Data Directory (or use  to refresh the directory.) The panel now updated with newly created file(s).

 

 

3.      Third example to run the task and display the result in a different output window terminal.

    Same as in example 1, but now create a new output window terminal. The interface will automatic select the new output window as the one task will send result to.

    Run the task as in example, but with different input data file, the result will be sent to new output window. User will have option to save result in each output window to different text file.
