Visual Integrator in 4.x does not support any way of executing a single job serially from an external process without ugly hacks like job chaining w/ checking for file existence/etc.

Please provide a command line option for VI job execution to say "UIBATCH" or similar that will execute the job, but NOT return control to the calling program until the job has completed.

This would eliminate the need for a large class of hacks around job execution from external tools.

  • We have had to use stuff like RoboTask to get around this problem. Great idea.

  • Worst thing about this is that apparently, it WAS a supported option in MAS 3.something and it was changed or removed.

  • I would like to have job status code return too.
