General Server Scripting Specification on failover

Language VBScript Visual Basic,
Items Specifications Comments
C++, etc.
Description
Server scripting extends the behavior of the server-resident
subsystems and its run time objects. Examples of server objects are
points and parameters, reports, assets and tasks (application
programs). Scripts can run by the server either periodically or when a
specified event occurs. Standard displays support the monitoring of
the status of running scripts.
General Specifications
Maximum Short scripts  • Server scripting has been
script size only (typically optimized for relatively short
less than 50 scripts and is not designed for
lines) implementing control strategies. If
a task is computationally intensive,
or requires extensive file handling,
custom applications can be used
instead of scripts – see section 3.6
“Application Development
Toolkit”. Some tasks qualify for
both categories, and the rules are
flexible when deciding what tasks
can and cannot be performed by
server scripts, see the following
section.
 Where possible, existing server
functionality should be used in
preference to writing server
scripts. Standard server
functionality optimizes the task
