The Script Editor provides the ability to create and execute scripts that automate processes on the Velocity Client. The actions and settings you use to create Velocity 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.
The following steps outline the process of creating scripts using the Script Editor:
1 Launch the Script Editor. Launch the script editor from the Avalanche Console or the ActiveSync configuration utility.
2 Create a script using the Script Editor. Use the Script Editor to manually create the script code.
3 Configure an execution method for your script. Select from the available options the way you want to execute your script.
4 Deploy the script to the Client. Use Avalanche or ActiveSync to deploy the script to the Client.
5 During an emulation session, execute your script from the Client. Using the activation method you selected for the script, activate and execute your script.
Velocity allows one active script per session. While one script is running, other scripts are not allowed to run. Scripts should be designed to perform their function and then immediately exit so that next script can run.
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.
