Project operations - Manage script actions

Add script action to script

There are several ways to add actions to a script. For a basic understanding of projects, input data and scripts, see Principle of operation. With the following operations you can add an action to a script. Note that a project window must be open to perform these operations:

1. Select the script action in the Actions bar and select menu option Actions, Add action to script, or right click on the script action and select the menu option.

2. Drag and drop the script action from the Action bar to the script area of the project window.

3. Drag and drop a script action from another project to the script area of the target window. In this case, all the properties are copied to the new project as well.

4. If you drag and drop a script action in the same project script with the Ctrl key pressed down, the script action is copied to the new position.

Move script action in script

The position of a script action in a script is important. If the order is not correct, the script cannot be executed correctly. Example: if you create a user account and Exchange mailbox, the action to create the user must precede the action that creates the Exchange mailbox. To move a script action in the script to another position, drag and drop the script action to the desired position.

Delete script action from script

To delete a script action from a script, select the action and press the Del key or select menu option Actions, Delete script action.

Script action execution order

By default, script actions are executed in the order as they appear in the script. But depending on the result of script actions and by special variable actions you can control the order in which script actions are executed. With these possibilities the script becomes a program with conditional jumps and better controller action execution. From this point of view, User Management Resource Administrator is a programming language to program the Windows network. To change the order in which actions are executed, labels are used for script actions. A label refers to a script action. To set a label for a script action, select the action in the script of the project (lower left part of the project window) and select menu option Actions, Set script action label. Each action can have only one label. When script execution continues at a label, the next action executed is the action with the specified label. If no action has the label specified, an error is generated and script execution is stopped. Note: since you can also jump to previous script actions, you can introduce deadlock situations where script execution never ends. It is the responsibility of the user to prevent this situation from happening. There are two general ways to change the order used to execute the script actions, described in the sections below.

Script action execution order: Error handling

When the execution of an script action fails, you have several options to control the execution of script action. To specify these settings, select the action in the script of the project (lower left part of the project window) and select menu option Actions, Script action error handling.

Script action execution order: Variable actions

The GOTO script action is used to continue script execution with another script action than the next script action. The referenced label can be a variable name.
