Dear All,

 

I would like to read an excel ''configuration input file'' which contains the values that will be used to set the ''User parameters'' (2 columns table : first column giving the variable name, second column the value that the variable should take). Is it possible to that ?

 

Can the ExcelReader parameter ''Read Form Control as Cell Value'' be used for this purpose ? What does this parameter ? I found no information about it in the help and tried a lot of things without success...

 

Any help would be welcome !

One approach would be to set this up in a child/parent relationship.

 

The child workspace (being the one you're wanting to run) will be run using a workspace runner in the parent workspace. The parent workspace will read in the excel document with you required parameters and pass them through to the workspace runner
