Interactive and automatic scripts

Last Updated : Dec 31, 2019 |

Each script is designated to be either interactive or automatic, as defined below:

  • An interactive script runs in the current CMS Supervisor session and the actions display on the PC. If the CMS Supervisor session is disconnected from the CMS server, the script will not run.

  • An automatic script launches a new Supervisor session that logs into CMS and runs the requested tasks as a background process. Script actions are not displayed on the screen. Although CMS Supervisor provides the ability to create automatic scripts, a third-party scheduling program must be used in order to run the scripts automatically on a regular schedule.
