Chapter 14 Viewing, Creating, and Executing Scripts
14-12 CSMIM/Micro-CS Management Application Guide
The
Script File Selection
window displays the default script directory. It allows
you to:
❑
Overwrite an existing script that you created previously by
selecting its name. When you select an existing script name,
a window appears that allows you to verify your choice. You
cannot overwrite a script that someone else created.
❑
Enter a new script name.
When you choose , Annex Manager creates a new script with
the name you specified.
Editing Script Files
You can use an ascii editor to change saved script files. Annex Manager
verifies each file according to its first four lines. When you edit these files,
you must use Annex Manager conventions. Script files always begin with:
#
# DB_VERSION: V1.0
# FORMAT: Parameter Name | Port Type | Port Number | Value
#
For example, you might enter
lock_enable| none | 0 | enabled
. Script files accept:
❑
0
in the
Port Number
field when you select non-port parameters.
❑
A port or channel number or an asterisk (to specify a wildcard
port) in the
Port Number
field.
❑
Asy
,
ptr
,
eth
,
2
(for DS1 ports) or
none
(for
All Annex Only
parameters)
in the
Port Type
field.
❑
Comment lines as long as each line begins with
#
. Annex
Manager processing ignores these lines.
For detailed information about each parameter’s values, see .
Changing Parameter Values Using Scripts
You can use any existing script to reconfigure one or more Annexes. The
Execute Script
command applies a script’s values to the Annexes you select.
