Execute script

Invokes a script located in the Perfecto Repository. This functionality lets you include sub-scripts within a script.

The script parameters must be entered in the same order and with the correct types as defined in the original script. The script will not work otherwise.

Tip: If you locate and drag the desired script from the Perfecto Repository directly into the script, the run time parameters will be entered automatically in the correct order.

Important: For the child scripts to each have an execution video associated with them, you will need to have an Open Device function in the beginning of each as well as a Close Device function in the end.

Use String Encoder

When using the Secured String type in a sub-script within script:

If a runtime parameter variable in the executed script is defined as a Secured String type, then the variable parameter in the calling script MUST be defined as Secured String.
If a runtime parameter variable in the executed script is defined as a String type, then the parameter variable in the calling script can be defined as string or Secured String. This allows the user to decide whether or not to use a secured string.

When using Embedded script execution, the devices used are shared between the parent and child scripts; Whereas, Sync or Async run separate script executions, and the devices are not shared. In Async script execution, multiple sub-scripts can be invoked and executed simultaneously within a script.
