Script Settings
Click
Add New Script
to create a new item in those listed at the top of this screen, or select and
item and click the Edit icon to its right to alter it. When you create a new script, you must select
either
Embedded CLI
or
Perl
. Embedded CLI scripts are command-line interface (CLI)
interactions. See Perl Scripts on page 368 for more about using Perl.
Clicking the Delete icon removes a selected item. Notice that the up/down buttons to the right of
the list allow you to re-order selected items (they run from top first to bottom last).
See Attribute Appearance and Validation for a description of what constitutes a valid attribute.
Name —Enter an identifier for the script you are creating or altering.
Target Filter
—Click the plus (+) to create a filter that describes the target for this script. For
example, this filter could confine the action of the configured script to devices from a certain
vendor, or only devices with an operating system version later than a certain number. Since
you can have several scripts, those Adaptive CLIs with a single label (“Show Users,” for
example) could therefore contain several scripts with syntax appropriate to a variety of devices
and operating systems.
CAUTION:
Adaptive CLI supports only filters that select the Managed Equipment type of device.
Attribute Delimiter —The delimiter(s) you select from the pick list here surround the attributes
you designate as mandatory. See Adaptive CLI Script Language Syntax on page 366 for more
about these.
