Writing scripts

You can write scripts in any programming or scripting language supported by the asset. For example, the Linux operating system includes the Perl engine. For assets with a Linux operating system, you can use Perl to write scripts. Axeda® Connected Product Management Applications does not require any set structure or syntax for these scripts and will not validate or debug the scripts. The Axeda® Script Developer's Reference (PDF) provides details you will need to write scripts in your selected language. It also includes some sample Perl scripts.

For information on creating sequence scripts using the Axeda Applications, refer to Creating script sequence file. For information on creating sequence scripts using Axeda® Builder, refer to the Axeda® Script Developer's Reference (PDF) and to the online help for Axeda Builder.

Note: In general, dynamic scripts (the ones that are created on Axeda® Platform and "registered" to the Agents) should NOT be used with redundant Gateways configuration. The reason is that only one of the redundant Gateways receives the script during registration.
