MaxL Commands with a .BAT

Question

Is there anyway to execute MaxL commands inside Essbase using a ".BAT" file?
Like write "Create application Test;" on a TXT then use a ".BAT" to read this TXT as a parameter file in order to create an application inside Essbase.
I think the ".BAT" must be like any other else but my doubt is if must have some kind of logging commands at the TXT or any other commands.

Answer 1

here's a sample:
in the MaxL file you write this:
spool on to 'c:\Logs\login.out';
login $1 $2 on $3;
spool off;
In the Batch file you write this:
set uid=userid
set pwd=password
set svr=localhost
essmsh "c:\scripts\login.msh" %uid% %pwd% %svr%
Note: Make sure there is no space between the "=" sign and your variables.
or you can skip the variables and just pass the parameters directly to the msh file, something like this:
essmsh "c:\scripts\login.msh" userid password localhost
