Where to Run Your Scripts

The Perl Agent and Policy Management APIs can be used on the following machines:

• Agent API—On the machine where a Policy Server is installed. The Agent API can access the local Policy Server or a remote Policy Server.
• Policy Management API—On the machine where a Policy Server is installed.

To run a script against these APIs, use the following command line syntax:

perl scriptname

Note: A script built with the Policy Management API must run as the same user who installed the Policy Server (for example, smuser on UNIX platforms).
