Scripts

About scripts

To use a script, you add a process to a traditional or advanced task, select a script for the process to run, set parameter values as required, and select options for how to run the script. For more information, see Add a Task Process.

The Scripts page lists all available scripts. You can filter the list.

On the Scripts page you can:

• View built-in scripts

  MOVEit Automation contains built-in scripts that you use as-is. You can view the description and parameters of built-in scripts, but you cannot view or edit the source code. You set the parameters for the script after you associate it with a process.

  For more information, see

  • Types of Built-in Scripts
  • Built-in Scripts by Script Name
• Add and manage custom scripts

  Custom scripts are written in PowerShell or VBScript. You can write scripts, import saved scripts, or import scripts from the directory of sample scripts provided.

  Sample scripts are installed with the MOVEit Automation Admin Console. If you are using MOVEit Automation Web Admin, sample scripts are available from the MOVEit Community Library. Sign in to the Progress Community, click the Library tab, followed by the MOVEIT tab.
