Testing an Event and Script Association

In this scenario we install a test script and we associate the test script with an event. When the event triggers, the script displays the “EVENT TEST” pop-up message.

You can associate the test script with any event. When the “EVENT TEST” message appears in a pop-up window, you know the event that triggered the test script.

During your script development, create the association between the test script and the event you want to script first, then replace the test script with your developed script. This way, you know that you associated the developed script with the correct event.

To create the test script

  1. From the Classic Admin portlet, click Admin Tools > Events > Scripts.

  2. Click Submit to return a list of existing scripts.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Enter the following two script lines in the Script Content section:

    aa.env.setValue("ScriptReturnCode","1"); 
aa.env.setValue("ScriptReturnMessage", "EVENT TEST");

  5. Enter the name “EVENT_TEST” in the Script Code and Script Title sections.

  6. Click Add.
