<outputFile> Element

The <outputFile> element is a child of the <execNative> element. The <outputFile> element specifies the path to a local file on the agent in which to store the standard output of the command that is being executed. Specify the path to the local file by using the <outputFile> name attribute. Relative paths are interpreted as being relative to the command's working directory.

You must specify the <outputFile> element if you specify the <background> element.

If <outputFile> is not specified and the <successCriteria> element does not specify outputMatches, the command output is not stored and will be lost. If outputMatches is specified, the standard output is stored in a temporary file that is deleted after the command finishes executing.

Attributes for the <outputFile> Element

The <outputFile> element has one required attribute, name, which is the name of the file to which the standard output of the command is written. This value should be a nonempty string. This attribute can reference simple substitution variables.
