Overview of Scripting

The following steps outline the process of creating scripts using the Script Editor:

1  Launch the Script Editor.You can launch the script editor from the Avalanche Console or the ActiveSync configuration utility.

2  Create a script using the Script Editor. You can use the Script Editor to manually create the script code.

-Or-

Create a script using the Script Capture option. You can turn on Screen Capture and perform the actions you want included in your script.

3  Configure an execution method for your script. You need to select from the available options the way you want to execute your script.

4  Deploy the script to the Velocity Client. Use Avalanche or ActiveSync to deploy the script to the Client.

5  During an emulation session, execute your script from the Velocity Client. Using the activation method you selected for the script, you can activate and execute your script.

Scripts can only be run while a session is connected to a host. When a connection is dropped, the script is terminated. If you switch between sessions, the script running in the first session will be suspended until that session is active again. Scripts should be designed to perform their function and then immediately exit.

The actions and settings you use to create Terminal Emulation scripts are located in a separate document called Wavelink Terminal Emulation Scripting Reference Guide. The document explains the usage of each action in detail and provides examples. The Scripting Reference Guide is located on the Wavelink web site.
