Script Object (SCRI)

With Script objects you can write internal processing instructions.

Object Definition

Object class: Executable object

Object type/Short name: SCRI

 

You use Script objects to write script statements to process internal instructions. They are not executed on the target system but inside the Automation Engine itself. With these objects you must use the Automation Engine scripting language.

The script is processed either at activation or at start, depending on what you define in Generate Job at on the Attributes page.

The script cannot contain JCL lines.

For detailed information and examples of the Automation Engine scripting language see About Automation Engine Scripts

Defining Script Objects

The steps for defining Script objects (SCRI) are the same as for any other Automic object. A Script definition is made up of the following pages:

• Standard pages that are always available, no matter what type of object you are defining:
• General Page
• Version Management Page
• Documentation Page
• Additional pages that are always available for executable objects:
• Process Pages
• Attributes Page
• Variables & Prompts Pages
• Rollback Page
