General script configuration

In the General section of the details pane, general information and options can be configured for a script. To view the options, click the downwards arrow next to Show details.

To configure a script:

  1. In the text box next to Name, enter a new name for the script.

  2. In the text box next to Description, optionally enter extra information about the script.

  3. Expand the details section and select or deselect the following options as required:

    • Support back/forward buttons in interactive mode: Adds back and forward buttons when the script shows a dialog asking for a user response.

      Note

      If you use this option in an Automation script that depends on C# code blocks, do not forget to also use the methods WasBack and WasForward.

    • Do not fail when elements are not active or in timeout: Keeps the script from failing when it encounters an element that is not active or in timeout.

    • Write comments to log file: Ensures that any comments in the script are included in the Automation log file.

      Note

      This option will only work if Automation logging is enabled. See DataMiner logging.

    • C#: Return NULL instead of an exception upon a GetParameter of a non-initialized parameter: Ensures that no exception is thrown when an undefined or empty parameter is encountered in C# code. Null will be returned instead.

    • Web compliant: This option is only displayed if the UseWebIAS soft-launch option is enabled. It allows you to execute the script in a web environment, which can be useful for interactive Automation scripts that use web-only features.
