Workflow to execute a script
Overview
The following workflow outlines the high-level steps necessary to create either CLI or XML API scripts. Each of the steps provides guidance on the type of XML requests required to perform a particular configuration action. See the XML API SDK Sample Code Navigator for sample XML scripts.
You can synchronously or asynchronously execute the scripts. For synchronous execution, a response attribute identifies the success or failure of script execution. For asynchronous execution, the OSS client can either wait for a JMS notification or poll for status on the execution of the script.
The script results are stored in a file for the OSS client to collect. When the OSS client retrieves the results using the SOAP interface, the result is stripped of non-printable characters embedded in the response.
