Understanding How Script Files Automate Tasks

CA Automation Point uses files called scripts to automate these tasks:

• Establishing or recovering communications with the system
• Configuring a console for CA Automation Point to operate
• Performing a complex series of actions, such as an IPL, at the operator's request

A script file contains the sequence of keystrokes that an operator normally enters to perform a console function. Without script files, you would have to put each console in the mode appropriate for CA Automation Point before starting the product.
