Add Custom Scripts

Before using custom scripts during installation or upgrade, they must be added. These scripts can be reused multiple times during installer creation or upgrade processes.
Follow the below steps to add custom scripts:
  1. Navigate to IBM Sterling Control Center Director > Deployments > Custom Scripts > All scripts.
  2. Click Create Script button.
  3. Specify the following details:
    1. Name: Specify the logical name of the script.
    2. Description: Specify the logical description of the script.
    3. Operating System: Select the operating system on which the script shall be executed.
      Note: Supported OS are – Windows and Unix
    4. Execution Type: Select the type(s) of the script. For more details, refer to Type of Custom Scripts.
      Note:
      • You can select multiple execution types for the same script.
      • Based on the type of the script, it will be visible during installer creation or upgrade.
    5. Custom Script: Type-in the content of custom script or upload from the external file. For more details, refer to Supported Versions.
      Note:
      • This is the actual script that will be executed during installation/upgrade.
      • It is recommended to test this first on any given system to avoid any script execution failure during Connect:Direct installation or upgrade.
      • Control Center doesn’t perform any checks or validations on the script content. It is the user’s discretion to ensure the accuracy and correctness of the script contents.
