Running Python and/or R code?

Hi Ricardo,

Would it be possible to call the Python executable and pass it a .py file as a parameter? If so, a vb.net script in Automator should do the job.

I've not tried it with Python, but the following works with a command line OCR tool.

        Dim p1 As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\AbbyyAPI\AbbyyAPI.exe")         p1.Arguments = """C:\AbbyyAPI\Small.xml"""          Timeout = 3600000           Dim PWait1 As Process         PWait1 = Process.Start(p1)          PWait1.WaitForExit(Timeout)          If PWait1.HasExited = False Then             PWait1.Kill()         Else          End If

This also has a timeout.  If you don't need it, I believe the last 8 lines of code could be replaced with Process.Start(P1)

By default, the executable will run under the credentials that are being used for the Datawatch Agent service.  It is possible to impersonate another user, if required.

The executable must run "silently".  If it spawns any interactive prompts, then the script will invisibly hang as it waits for user interaction.

Regards,
Steve.

Subject: Running Python and/or R code?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to run Python and/or R code in either Data Prep Studio 15.0.0, Automator 15.0.0 or Monarch 15.1?

Currently the process for preparing the data is a mix of datawatch processes and Python/R scripts but this means I am usually unable to fully automate the process. I was wondering if there is a way to integrate that code into a workspace or the server so the process is fully automated?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
