6 Running RMXCI from Perl or Python

You can run SQL statements in Perl or Python by invoking the RMXCI Perl or Python wrapper

script. To use the wrapper scripts, see:

• “Login environment variables” (page 72)

• “Perl and Python wrapper scripts” (page 74)

• “Launching RMXCI from the Perl or Python command-line” (page 74)

These instructions assume that you have installed the RMXCI product. For more information, see

Chapter 2 (page 16).

Before launching RMXCI from Perl or Python, set these login environment variables:

DescriptionEnvironment variable

Specifies the Perl JavaServer JAR file location.RMXCI_PERL_JSERVER=JavaServer_jar_path

Specifies the Jython JAR file location.RMXCI_PYTHON_JSERVER=Jython_jar_path

Specifies the port on which the JavaServer listens.RMXCI_PERL_JSERVER_PORT=port_number

The RMXCI installer attempts to automatically download and install both the Perl JavaServer and

Jython open source extensions. If you want to download and install them manually, refer to the

instructions in the README file in the samples directory.

To set the login environment variables, see the instructions for the operating system of the client

workstation:

• “Setting the login environment variables ” (page 72)

• “Setting login environment variables in the system properties on Windows” (page 72)

Setting the login environment variables

You can set the login environment variables for the session at command prompt, or you can set

the login environment variables for the system or user by including them in the system properties.
