How can script variables be handled without operator interaction?

931 views4 days agoAutomation script MemoryFile Scheduler Task session variables

Daniel Zank [DevOps Advocate]215 3rd January 2025 1 Comment

Hi all!

I have a question on script variables. In the documentation it is explained that:

"Prior to running a script, operators will first have to link the dummies and parameters to actual elements and values in the DMS. Therefore, it is best to give the variables a meaningful name the operators will be able to work with."

Is there any way that this operator interaction is not necessary? The background is that we would like to execute a script via a task in the scheduler, which has a changing value from a memory file for the parameter.

Best regards and thank you in advance for your inspiring answers!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

You might consider designing the script to dynamically retrieve the necessary information (e.g., from a file or memory location) rather than relying on input parameters.

This approach can reduce manual input while still providing the flexibility you need for your use case.

Let me know if this is not possible for your use case. I can try to thing in another solution.
Kind regards,

Hi José, thanks for your answer and the inspiration! I hope I'm on the right track with my script. But now I have the problem that the variable in the view cannot be updated by the script. Please see my addition answer.
