Invoking_the_OYSTER_Run_Script

Once OYSTER is launched a Run Script can be invoked to perform the desired run. Figure 8 shows the prompt provided by OYSTER at the beginning of each run.

OYSTER expects to receive the name of the run script as input from the user. The specified run script may or may not require the user to specify the absolute path along with the name depending on the location from which the Oyster.bat file is launched. The following three scenarios all illustrate how an OYSTER run script can be invoked.

1. OYSTER is being run from the same folder as the run script using Absolute Path

   a. When prompted by the OYSTER run with ”Please input the name of the runScript:”, type D:\Oyster\Run1\RunScript.xml

   b. You can see this example uses the absolute path “D:\Oyster\Run1\” in addition to the name of the run script. In this scenario the absolute path is not actually required, due to both the run script and the .jar file being located in the same folder, but will not cause any error with the run.

2. OYSTER is being run from the same folder as the run script using Local Path

   a. When prompted by the OYSTER run with ”Please input the name of the runScript:”, type RunScript.xml

   b. You can see this example that since the Oyster.bat file is stored in and ran from the same folder in which the run script is stored, it does not require the absolute path, only the name of the run script.

3. OYSTER is being run from a different folder than the run script

   a. When prompted by the OYSTER run with ”Please input the name of the runScript:”, type D:\Oyster\Run1\RunScript.xml

   b. You can see this example uses the absolute path “D:\Oyster\Run1\” in addition to the name of the run script. In this scenario, the absolute path must be included since the Oyster.bat file is located in a different folder than the run script.

Once the folder structure is complete and OYSTER can be launched properly, the OYSTER run can be set up.
