B Scripting Language for the Mobile Server

The following sections describe the scripting language for the Mobile Server. You can use scripting to perform batch processing tasks that are performed frequently by the administrator. You can write scripts for the Mobile Server in an INI text file and use the WSH tool to run your INI script.

B.1 Description of the Syntax

The following sections describe the parameters and syntax available in the scripting language:

Creating a User

Using the following syntax, you can create users to be included in a group.

[USER]
NAME=<User Name>
PASSWORD=<User Password>
ENCRYPTED=<True or False; True if the password is encrypted, False if not>
FULLNAME=<User Full Name>
PRIVILEGE=<User privilege level as P, C, S, or null>

There are four options for setting the PRIVILEGE value for users. They are:

  • P - Publishing an application

  • C - Connecting to Web-to-Go

  • S - Manage Web-to-Go

  • Null - No privileges

Creating a Group

Using the [GROUP] script, you can create a new group (if this group does not already exist) and add listed users to the group. If you use this entry and specify the name of a group that exists, all the users in the existing group will be removed and users who are listed will be added to this group.

The following syntax enables you to create a group.

[GROUP]
NAME=<Group Name>
USER=<User name you want to add to this group>
USER=<User name you want to add to this group>
USER=<User name you want to add to this group>

Adding Users to a Group

Using the [ADDUSERTOGROUP] script, you can create a new group (if this group does not already exist) and add listed users to this group. You can also use this entry to add users to an existing group.

[ADDUSERTOGROUP]
NAME=<Group Name>
USER=<User name you want to add to this group>
USER=<User name you want to add to this group>

Removing Users from a Group

Using the [REMOVEUSERFROMGROUP] script, you can remove listed users from a specified group.

NAME=<Group Name>
USER=<User name you want to remove from this group>
USER=<User name you want to remove from this group>

Creating Access Privileges

Using the [ACL] script, you can create a new ACL (if this ACL does not already exist). After creating the ACL, all the existing users will be removed and all the listed users will be added to this ACL.

Using the [GRANTACCESS] script, you can add users to the existing ACL.

The following syntax enables you to create access privileges for users and groups.

[ACL]APPLICATION=<Name of the application you want to creat ACL for>
ROLE=<Role of the user; set the value as DEFAULT ROLE or ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE>
USER=<User's name>
ACCESS=<Set access status as ENABLED>
ROLE=<Role of the user>
USER=<User name>
ACCESS=<Set access status as ENABLED>
ROLE=<Role of the group>
GROUP=<Groups name>
ACCESS=<Set access status as ENABLED>

Granting Access

Using the [GRANTACCESS] script, you can create a new ACL (if this ACL does not already exist) and add listed users to this ACL.

[GRANTACCESS]
APPLICATION=<Name of the application you want to add ACL for>
ROLE=<Role of the user>
USER=<User name>
ACCESS=<Access Status ENABLED/DISABLED>
ROLE=<Role of the group>
GROUP=<Group name>

Revoking Access

Using the [REVOKEACCESS] script, you can remove users that are listed in the specified ACL.

[REVOKEACCESS]
APPLICATION=<Name of the application you want to revoke ACL for>
ROLE=<Role of the user>
USER=<User name>
ACCESS=<Access Status>
ROLE=<Role of the group>
GROUP=<Groups name>

Creating Registries

Using the [REGISTRY] script, you can create registries.

[REGISTRY]
APPLICATION=<Name of the application>
NAME=<Registry Variable Name>
VALUE=<Value for this variable>

Creating Snapshot Variables

Using the [SNAPSHOTVAR] script, you can create snapshot variables.

[SNAPSHOTVAR]
NAME=<Name of the publication item>
PLATFORM=<Platform for which this publication item is>
VIRTUALPATH=<Virtual path of the application this publication item
belongs to>
USER=<Name of the user who subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>
USER=<Name of the user who subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>
GROUP=<Name of the group which subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>

Deleting a User

Using the [DROPUSER] script, you can delete a user.

[DROPUSER]
NAME=<User Name>

Deleting a Group

Using the [DROPGROUP] script, you can delete a group.

[DROPGROUP]
NAME=<Group Name>

Deleting Access Privileges

Using the [DROPACL] script, you can delete access privileges provided to users.

[DROPACL]
APPLICATION=<Name of the application you want to delete ACL for>
ROLE=<Role of the user; set the value as DEFAULT ROLE or ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE>
USER=<User name>
ACCESS=<Set access status as DISABLED>
ROLE=<Role of the group; set the value as DEFAULT ROLE or ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE>
GROUP=<Groups name>
ACCESS=<Set access status as DISABLED>

Deleting a Registry

Using the [DROPREGISTRY] script, you can delete a registry.

[DROPREGISTRY]
APPLICATION=<Name of the application>
NAME=<Registry Variable Name>
VALUE=<Value for this variable>

Deleting Snapshot Variables

Using the following [DROPSNAPSHOTVAR] script, you can delete snapshot variables.

[DROPSNAPSHOTVAR]
NAME=<Name of the publication item>
PLATFORM=<Platform for which this publication item is>
VIRTUALPATH=<Virtual path of the application this publication item belongs to>
USER=<Name of the user who subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>
USER=<Name of the user who subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>
GROUP=<Name of the group which subscribes to this application>
VAR=<Name of the Data Subsetting parameter, value of this parameter>

B.2 Running a Script INI File

To run a script INI file using the WSH tool, use the following command:

WSH -c <filename.ini> mobileadmin/manager@webtogo.world

B.3 Examples

The following sections enable you to accomplish the following tasks and describes examples from a script file in INI format:
