                     [-quiet] [-maxretry=trials] [-retrydelay=milliseconds] [-runid=description]
                     [-transmittimeout=milliseconds] [-keepaliveinterval=milliseconds]
                     [-keepalivetimeout=milliseconds] [-cspinterval=milliseconds] [-cspserver=address:port]

DESCRIPTION

     scriptingclient is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU) for the scripting service. The
     purpose of this service is to distribute input data to a scripting PE, execute a script doing some useful
     work on the input data and returning output data. For example, this service can be used for distributed
     simulation processing.

ARGUMENTS

The following options are available:

-poolhandle=pool_handle
Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default setting is "ScriptingPool".

Service Parameters:

-environment=file_name
Sets the name of the environment file to upload to the PE. The PE may cache this
environment file, allowing to skip a subsequent upload of the same environment file.

-input=file_name
Sets the name of the input file to upload to the PE.

-output=file_name
Sets the name of the output file to write the download from the PE to.

-quiet Turns on quiet mode, i.e. only few information is printed.

-maxretry=trials
Maximum number of retries upon errors on the remote site. The error counter only increments
when the remote-side script returns a non-zero error code. When the error limit is reached,
the received output file will be downloaded for debugging purposes.

-retrydelay=milliseconds
Sets the retry delay upon failover in milliseconds.

-runid=description
Add the given description to all log lines of the scripting service PU operation. This can
be useful when multiple PUs are running simultaneously.

-transmittimeout=milliseconds
Sets the transmission timeout in milliseconds.

-keepaliveinterval=milliseconds
Sets the keep-alive interval in milliseconds.

-keepalivetimeout=milliseconds
Sets the keep-alive timeout in milliseconds.

ASAP Protocol Parameters:

-registrar=address:port
Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table. It is possible to add multiple entries.

-registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds
Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

-registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds
Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

-registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials
Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment trials.

-registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds
Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.

-registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds
Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.

-registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials
Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:

-cspinterval=milliseconds
Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in milliseconds. By default, the content of
the environment variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will
be sent.

-cspserver=address:port
Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the content of the environment
variable CSP_SERVER is used. If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

Logging Parameters:

-logappend=filename
Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); output will be appended to given file.

-logcolor=on|off
Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

-logfile=filename
Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given file will be overwritten.

-loglevel=0-9
Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very verbose). It is recommended to use at
least a value of 2 to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

ENVIRONMENT

     scriptingclient uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send
     reports to in the specified interval.
