Spotfire® Automation Services User Guide

Execute Script

You can use this task to refine the analysis using IronPython scripts.

To execute a job using an Execute Script task, the executing account must be a member of the group Script Author. This applies to both the account executing jobs in the Automation Services Job Builder and the account executing jobs on the Automation Services node service. Additionally, for editing jobs with a script task, the user must have the Author Scripts license feature enabled.

You can refine the analysis using an IronPython script. IronPython scripts can be executed within tasks, with the script embedded in a text box. The script will have access to the context object of the current tasks (APIs), including the Analysis Application for accessing other APIs.

Note: An analysis must be loaded before the script can be executed.
