Writing Scripts

Write scripts on the Process pages of executable objects. An integrated script editor features syntax highlighting and autocompletion to help you write your scripts. If you are familiar with other common scripting languages, you will find the Automation Engine scripting language easy to learn.

This section describes the basic principles of writing Automation Engine scripts:

• Script Elements and Syntax

  • Script Variable Data Types

  • Date, Time and Period Formats in Scripts

• Working with the Script Editor

Note: Scripting is an advanced topic. Working knowledge of configuring, executing and monitoring objects and workflows is a prerequisite.
