Create a .wlscr Script File

After creating the tpl.ini file, create the .wlscr script file for this template inventory collection module. The name of the .wlscr file for this example is tpl.wlscr.

See the content of the tpl.wlscr file below to note that you need to change the following options based on your requirements:

• Title
• Description
• CommandLine parameters with -origin description
• Number of files to be downloaded
• File name list - You must have the list of the binaries name to put in this script file so that the primer knows which file to download to the target computer. In this example, 5 new files have been added:
  • tpl.ini
  • template.tpl
  • amm2iw32.exe
  • amtplw32.exe
  • amtext.enu

Important! The difficulty in this process is to obtain the number of binaries that can be used to perform this task and the command line that is used to run this module. This requires the expertise of a user who understands the asset management agent functionality so as to define which module to produce which inventory data. The above binaries are distributed with the asset management agent installation.

The content of the .wlscr file is as follows:

[General]

Title=Template Test

Description=Select this to perform a fast scan of hardware and software on your computer.

CommandLine=-script .\tpl.ini -origin "CA Elective Inventory (Basic Scan+Template)"

File1=cmNriAgent.exe

File2=tpl.ini

File3=cainf.dll

File4=cawinexf.dll

File5=cfUtilities.dll

File6=msvcp71.dll

File7=msvcr71.dll

File8=cfTrace.dll

File9=cfTrace.ini

File10=amappw32.exe

File11=cfbasichwwnt.exe

File12=cfXMLParser.dll

File13=cfOSServices.dll

File14=cfig40wnt.sys

File15=cfigw32.sys

File16=cfigw64.sys

File17=template.tpl

File18=amm2iw32.exe

File19=amtplw32.exe

File20=amtext.enu

After all the files are created, go to the folder ..\DSM\Web Console\webapps\wac\jsp\ei\wl\scripts. Count the existing number of script files in that folder and increment the count by 1. Include this new number to the name of the tpl.wlscr file. For example, if the folder contains 3 script files, you must name the next file as 4tpl.wlsc.
