How to “View Input Transactions, Electronic Output Files or Reports” that are saved in Input File, Output File or Report directories …

Background Knowledge:

There are situations that you may run Batch Jobs but you do not want to print the hard copy output. An example of this situation is running SAMMA/SAL. You just want to view or take a quick glance at the number of RAB, RAO or Def-to-RO and other management data items (i.e. number of items carried onboard, summary of LMC or ARRC Codes tied to items in the database, etc.). Situation like these you do not have to spend time, money and other related expense as a result of printing the hard copy output. Run the Batch Job and “Save the output” into the ‘report’ directory then view the report or output after completion of the Batch Job.

To save the output or report, refer to: “How to ‘Set Indicators’ in Control Parameter Update screen.

Input Files - are saved (after the input file is uploaded via ‘File Transfer’) at this directory: /h/data/local/SUP1BT/tape_in.

Output Files - are saved at this directory: /h/data/local/SUP1BT/tape_out.

Reports are saved at this directory: /h/data/local/SUP1BT/reports.

If you are the FAS with full ADMIN rights, you can quickly remove all files in any of these directories.
