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,
If I understood correctly, you have a memory file defined in the Automation module, and you are using this memory file for your script parameter:
If this is the case, when configuring a scheduled task, the user will need to choose one of the possible values from the memory file:
To avoid this, for example you could remove the script parameter and process the memory file directly in a C# script block. The method GetMemory allows you process the content of a memory file.
Hope it helps.
Hi Daniel,
Sorry for the late reply. Indeed, to use the method GetMemory you will need to pass the memory file as parameter. A possible alternative is using subscripts. There is description of this workaround in the following question:

Please let me know if it helps.
Hi Miguel, 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 additional answer.
