You can assign scripts to dynamic timers. When a dynamic timer is registered with an asset, the Axeda® Gateway or Axeda® Connector Agent runs the configured scripts based on the related timer's schedule (the Agents are configured with their own system timers: dynamic timers are executed in the same manner as the system timers and do not conflict with system timers on an asset.)
You can configure dynamic timers that initiate almost any asset operation that can be done locally. Examples include running an asset calibration session, automating a set of Platform administration steps, or capturing and parsing complex asset data structures or logs for upload to customer service personnel.
Dynamic timers can be scheduled to execute at regular intervals (relative or absolute times), or initiated on demand from the Asset dashboard or Scripts page in the Axeda® Service Application.
A dynamic script is comprised of a timer configured to execute one or more scripts. From the Service application you create the timers, assign their scripts, and then register then with the related assets. The Axeda Agent executes dynamic scripts as if they were created within the Agent's own configuration.
