Overview

A convenient way to perform scheduled or overnight PMOD Pipeline Processing is to run an external script.

There are several requirements to be fulfilled for such a scenario:

• License availability: PMOD requires a license acquisition in order to start the processing. As soon as the license is available the processing is started. The specified results are saved and at the end of the processing PMOD exits returning the license to the server.
• Folders structure: appropriate folder structure need to be created for the input and output files and for the Pipe Processing definition.
• Pipeline definition: pipeline steps should be properly defined and saved.
• Script definition: can be based on the RunPMOD starting script. The script needs to be edited according to the instructions.

The last three requirements are described in detailed in the following sections.
