Script Page

The Script page defines script to be run.

Name for this step (optional)

Optionally, specify a descriptive name for the step. Otherwise the name of the target script is used as the description for the step.

Description/Notes

Enter any extended descriptive information or notes for this step. There is no limit on the length of the text.

Script to Execute

Your script may be either an internal script (stored within adTempus and optionally shared with other jobs) or an external script (an external script file). The way the script is executed, and the options available to it, are the same either way.

Execute a script stored in adTempus

Select an existing script or create a new one. See the Scripts topic for information on working with internal scripts.

Execute a script stored in an external file

Specify the script file to execute. You must also specify the Language of the script. If you select a language other than one of those listed, the language name you enter must be a scripting language recognized by the Window Scripting Host on the server By "server" we mean the computer on which the adTempus service is running.

Maximum execution time

Specify the maximum time (in minutes) that the script should be allowed to run. (This feature prevents against "runaway" scripts.)

If you are running an internal script, adTempus will use the lesser of the value you specify here and the value specified on the Script's properties.
