| + | Here's an example: | ||
| + | Let's assume we want to invoke a python script and pass it a path and a number argument. We would end up with the following configuration: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ^ Option ^ Value ^ | ||
| + | | Number | PythonScriptTest | | ||
| + | | Command| python.exe | | ||
| + | | Arguments | d:\scripts\python_test.py -p {slide_path} -n {some_number} -i 123 | | ||
| + | | Parameters | slide_path - type = path, some_number - type = number | | ||
| + | |||
| + | We would invoke this script by crafting the following URL: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>http(s)://pma.core.url/scripts/Run?sessionId=your-session-id&name=PythonScriptTest&slide_path=images/collection1/slide1.svs&some_number=10</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Then PMA.core would extract and validate the values "images/collection1/slide1.svs" and "10" and pass them on to the command, by replacing {slide_path} and {some_number} respectively. The resulting script looks like this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ''python.exe d:\scripts\python_test.py -p "images/collection1/slide1.svs" -n 10 -i 123'' | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | After successful execution, the complete output of the command invocation is returned to the client. | ||
