/NOPROMPT - Connect_ETL - 9.13

Purpose

To disable Connect ETL’s prompts.

Format

/NOPROMPT

Location

The option may appear anywhere in the task definition.

Notes

In certain situations, such as a disk full condition, Connect ETL suspends the task and asks you to take action by displaying one or more prompts. The /NOPROMPT option disables this behavior and instructs Connect ETL to return con­trol to the operating system or to the program invoking dmexpress when such a sit­uation arises.

Disk Full

Normally, when Connect ETL is unable to write to a disk because it is full, Connect ETL will prompt you with a menu of options and ask you to take action to resolve the problem. This is to provide you an opportunity to recover and to allow the task to continue. For more information, see Disk Full Recovery.

If you specify /NOPROMPT and Connect ETL hits a disk full condition, Connect ETL issues an exception message and stops immediately.

Example

/noprompt 

This instructs Connect ETL not to issue prompts when an exception occurs.
