Before a script can be run through CMS Supervisor, the following conditions must be met:
  • The username associated with an automatic script must be assigned all the permissions required for all operations specified by the script.
  • No more than four scripting CMS Supervisor sessions, including background sessions initiated by automatic scripts, can be run simultaneously on a PC.
    Caution:
    When using scripts to change VDNs, verify that only one script is running at a time. If multiple scripts execute in parallel that are all changing VDNs, some VDN changes may not finish.
  • The PC must be running at the time when an automatic script is scheduled to run.
  • Once a script is created, it can be started by accessing the script file directly from a Microsoft Windows Explorer window.
  • You must schedule mission-critical activities, such as backups, through Timetables on the CMS Supervisor server. For more information about Timetable scheduling, see Creating and scheduling a timetable.
