Preparation

CgiRemoteControl.exe is a command-line tool that loads a SceneComposer solution and performs processing according to a configuration XML. The concrete processing is implemented on the plugin side. When necessary, pass a string command with --PlugInControl to invoke the plugin’s OnPluginControl(string). Results are shown in the console output and by the process exit code.

Prerequisites

• .NET Framework 4.8.0 or later
• Required files: SCHost.dll, CgiRemoteControlConfig.xml
  

File Placement

• Place CgiRemoteControl.exe in the same directory as SceneComposer.exe.
• Place the configuration file CgiRemoteControlConfig.xml in the same directory, or specify it as an argument when running the tool.
• Paths may be relative or absolute.

Example Layout

bin/
 ├─ SceneComposer.exe
 ├─ SCHost.dll
 ├─ CgiRemoteControl.exe
 └─ CgiRemoteControlConfig.xml

Configuration File

CgiRemoteControl.exe reads settings from an XML configuration file. Use the file name CgiRemoteControlConfig.xml. By specifying the location of SCHost.dll and the allowed wait time, the host is resolved at runtime and a timeout threshold for long-running operations is defined. If you use the default name, follow the placement above; if you use a different name or path, pass it as an argument when running the tool.

Minimal Sample

• SCHostPath: Path to SCHost.dll, relative to the tool’s directory
• TimeoutMilliseconds: Timeout in milliseconds

<CgiRemoteControlConfig>
  <SCHostPath>C:/path/SCHost.dll</SCHostPath>
  <TimeoutMilliseconds>60000</TimeoutMilliseconds>
</CgiRemoteControlConfig>
