Post Web Interface Input Boxes Reply with quote

I am working on setting up the web interface for our production scheduler and am running into a problem. Some of our scripts are run by special request only, and require more input from the user than simply running the job. My problem is this; if I run a job from the web interface, and the job calls an input box, the box appears on the machine running the scheduler, not the web page. Is there a way around this so that I can get the input box to appear in the browser?

It is not going to happen automatically. You will need to redesign the job to read the required values from a file, database, global variables or some other shared place. You can then create an HTML form and add a link to that form to the web interface. When users have a need to run that job they will click on the link and fill the form. The form will then save the input data to the chosen shared place and kick off the job. I recommend using global variables if the web interface and scheduler are running run on the same computer (see Get/SetGlobalVariable methods) and using some file if they are.
