Working with Automation Scripts
Use the Automation Scripts application to create and configure scripts that automate routine tasks, based on the events or attributes of a business object, or based on actions or custom conditions. You can create a script in any of the supported scripting languages, and execute the script without deploying Java™ files or restarting the server.
With the Automation Scripts application you can:
- Implement common business application validations using script code that can be deployed immediately without the need for application server shutdown and restart.
- Choose from one of two commonly used scripting languages - Jython or JavaScript, and easily plug in additional JSR-223 compliant scripting languages and engines to suit development needs.
- Use wizards guide you through configuring scripts that run based on different launch points. The launch points include object events or attributes, actions, or custom conditions.
- Declare variables for the script in the application instead of in the source code. With variables, the code is simpler and easier to reuse in different launch contexts.
