Hello,

We are trying to integrate the execution of Lavastorm graphs into a larger .NET web application that manages scheduled processes.
Is there a way to execute a BRX file from the command line in a Windows environment?

I have not found much information on how to execute a BRX file and only found some fragments about a brainController.py file. I assume the execution of the BRX files is restricted to the server version of Lavasoft? At least the desktop version does not seem to contain braincontroller.py or anything relating to executing things via the command line.

Also, can the server edition be installed on a Windows machine? The installation guide seems to be geared towards a Linux environment and we would like to know if it can be set up on a Windows box so we can automatically deploy the BRX files to that server and execute them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Tobias

Hello Tobias,

To answer your questions:
- Executing BRX files is indeed limited to Server editions of the LAE.
- Windows is not a supported Server platform, but will be supported in the LAE 5.0 release which is currently in development and due in the Spring.
- With the LAE 5.0 release, we'll also be introducing execution scheduling APIs and an HTML UI to use them, so the ability to schedule a BRX execution will no longer be limited to command-line facilities.

Hope this helps,
Mark

At this time, the deployment of BRXs is limited to the LAE Enterprise environment, which is supported on Linux or Solaris.
There's no provision for running graphs from a command line from the LAE Desktop version.

If you attach BRE to a Enterprise server, you can push BRXs to the server using the "Server/DEPLOY" options. That simplifies the publishing a good bit.
