Command Task Advanced Properties

The

Advanced

tab for a Command task includes properties that the task uses to run the command.

Configure the following Command task advanced properties:

Task Recovery Strategy: Determines whether the Data Integration Service reruns or skips a task that is interrupted or that encounters an error. If the workflow is not enabled for recovery, the Data Integration Service ignores the task recovery strategy.; By default, the task has a restart recovery strategy.
Working Directory: Directory from which to run the command. You can also specify the working directory in the command that you enter for the task. If you specify the directory in both locations, the directory specified in the command overrides the directory specified in this property.

Enter a value for the Working Directory. Or, assign the Working Directory property to task input. Then in the Command task
Input
tab, you can assign the property to a workflow parameter or variable. The property has a string datatype.

Default is the home directory of the Data Integration Service. The Command task does not validate the working directory path.
Standard Output Length: Number of characters to return in the standard output for the command. Maximum is 32,768 characters.

Default is 1024 characters.
Standard Error Length: Number of characters to return in the standard error for the command. Maximum is 4096 characters.

Default is 1024 characters.
