Deploy required files

After you prepare your script files, script applications, and initialization or configuration files, use the Script management module in the AdminClient to place them in the correct directories so Octoplant can access and run them.

Script directories

The following scripting directories are available in Script management:

  • Server scripting directory for automatic update of client
    Use this directory for scripts that must be distributed automatically to all UserClient installations.

  • Server scripting directory
    Use this directory for scripts that run only on the server.

  • Local scripting directory
    Use this directory for scripts that are specific to the computer where the AdminClient is installed.

Place and synchronize script files

  1. Start the AdminClient and open the Script management module.
  2. In Local files, go to the folder that contains your script files. You can create, open, rename, or delete files and folders as needed. Store related SCRIPT, INI, and parameter or log files together to simplify maintenance.

  3. In the Server scripting directory or the Server scripting directory for automatic update of client, select the target folder where the scripts should be available.

    Info

    Use the Server scripting directory for automatic update of client only for scripts that must be available on all UserClient > systems.

  4. Drag the required script files (SCRIPT, EXE, BAT, INI, configuration files) from Local files to the selected target folder.

  5. Select Apply to save and distribute changes.

Notes

  • Files in Server scripting directory for automatic update of client are synchronized to all connected clients when you select Apply.
  • Files in Server scripting directory and Local scripting directory are not synchronized to clients.
  • To test script buttons before rollout, copy the required EXE or BAT, INI, and icon files to the local script directory. After successful testing, copy the files in the server script directory.
