Specify the Target Platform for a Script

Note: This topic is valid for asset management only.

The DMS Editor can run with the DMS Interpreter for Microsoft Windows NT or with asset management script interpreters for other platforms, so you can select the target platform you want to use.

To select the target platform

1. Select Options, Targets.

   The Script Target Platform dialog appears.

2. Select the platform and click OK.

   If the platform is not supported, the Script Editor displays a message stating that it was unable to load the script interpreter.

   If the platform is supported the Script Editor terminates the current session. To start the script interpreter of the new platform, provide the Script Editor with the interpreter and its full runtime environment. The executable file of the interpreter must be in the same location as the executable file of the Script Editor.
