Subject: Re: Interpret the Perform Script[] statement
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2007 15:52:23 +0100
Hi Nicholas
I would like to know how to interpret the following statement:
Perform Script [Sub-scripts, External:"Sales.fp5[192.168.0.1]"]
I inherited the program the uses this statement and I need to know what
it is doing. I understand that subscripts are executed in the Sales.fp5
file but how do I know which script will be executed? Also what does the
IP address do?
You need to edit the step and read which script gets called in Sales.fp5
The IP address tells FM to look for Sales.fp5 in the machine with IP
192.168.0.1
If the file is not there FM will look for it elsewhere in the LAN
If the file is not there anymore the script will work but the whole thing
will be slower (in general it's better to work with network protocol off
to avoid memorizing IPs in script, since they'll be wrong once the
solution is deployed)
