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.

DIAGNOSTICS

       If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified log file.
