Launch Table

The Launch Table controls the execution of all scripts. This table describes scripts that are ready to be launched along with descriptions of their parameters.

An entry in the Launch Table attaches an argument to a script. The entry also defines the owner, who is used to associate permissions to execute the script.

Several instances of a script may be created through one single entry on this table. Also, several entries on this table may point to a same script on the Script Table. You can execute several identical scripts with different arguments and different permissions. Scripts can only be run with the launch owner's permissions.

The Launch Table has the attributes listed in the following table.
