Settings for Product Master scripting mode

Depending on whether you want to use compiled or non-compiled scripts, you can set the compile mode in the IBM® Product Master common.properties file.

Product Master scripting is set in $TOP/etc/default/common.properties by using:

script_execution_mode=script_mode

Where script_mode can be either compiled_only, compiled_if_available, or not_compiled.

compiled_only

The entire script is compiled before execution. The script is run only if the compilation passed. To ensure proper performance, use the compiled_only option.

compiled_if_available

The entire script is compiled first, and if the compilation fails, the script is ran in the not_compiled mode.

Attention: The compiled_if_available mode adversely impacts the performance. However, if this mode must be used, then be aware that a compiled script cannot start a function from a non-compiled script.

not_compiled

The script is run without being compiled as a whole before execution.

Important: Use the following in the common.properties:

script_execution_mode=not_compiled

Script mode can be overridden by including the following directive at the beginning of the script:

//script_execution_mode=script_mode

Attention: Do not use the directive //script_execution_mode=not_compiled at a script level due to significant performance degradation.

Script mode cannot be overridden if the mode is set to not_compiled in common.properties.

To check the current script mode, run the following method.

getScriptExecutionMode()
