WhereScape RED provides a facility for defining and managing host script languages to enable users to implement host scripts in their preferred scripting language, e.g. Python, Perl, PowerShell, etc.
This provide RED users with the flexibility of using different types of script languages for the various script-based processing that they perform within RED, such as the script based update of the data warehouse content, created in custom database targets. Refer to Script Templates for Custom Database Table Objects for details.
This feature also supports importing a set of host script language definitions into RED from an external source, and exporting host script languages defined in RED to a file. This enables you to migrate and reuse host script language definitions between different repositories.
Using the host script languages feature involves defining the language properties which includes the command to run and execute a script in the defined language.
The host script language definitions are created and maintained in the Maintain Host Script Languages screen.
