Business Data Scripting Best Practice

Keep the Scripts Small

It is recommended that you keep scripts small. You can do this by breaking potentially large chunks of logic into separate scripts.

Ensure Business Objects Are Valid Before Scripts Complete

Remember that the length, limits, and multiplicity are checked at the end of every script, so ensure that all the Out and In / Out fields for the task have valid values before the script task is completed.

Check for Nulls

It is very important to check that fields and attributes are not null before attempting to get their values.

Use Comments in Scripts

It is good practice to comment code to make it easier for others who follow you to understand what the scripts are doing.

Use Constant First when Comparing a Constant with a Variable

Using:

constant == variable

is safer than:

variable == constant

If "=" is used instead of "==" by mistake, the former construction will result in a syntax error.
