Existing host scripts (either UNIX or Windows) can be brought into the WhereScape RED metadata. To incorporate an existing script the process is as follows:

  1. Create a Host Script object using WhereScape RED. Right-click a project or the All Objects project in the left pane and select New Object.
  2. In the new object window, select Host Script from the Object Type drop-down and the type in a name for the new script. 
  3. Click Add, and the following Properties window appears. Select the script type; either UNIX or Windows script. Select the appropriate connection from the Connection Name drop-down. Fill in the Purpose field to define the role of the script and then click OK to save the changes.

  4. Double-click the new script or right-click the new script and select Edit the Script.
  5. Within the script editor, either paste the script or if it is available in your PC running RED, select the File > Insert from File option and load the file.
  6. The script needs to be modified to handle the standards required by the RED scheduler. Refer to Script based load for details.
