Script - Data Area

Use this page to define the data areas used to pass information to and from the server or any other data area describing your temporary storage. Open this page using Admin Menu > Script and then navigate to the Data Area tab.

Description of Page

The grid contains the script's data areas declaration. For steps that invoke an object that is associated with a schema, you must declare the associated schema as a data area for your script. In addition, if you have defined one or more data areas to describe the script's temporary storage, you need to declare them too. The following bullets provide a brief description of each field on a script data area:

• Schema Type defines the type of schema describing the data area's element structure.
• The data area's schema is the one associated with the referenced Object. Only objects of the specified Schema Type may be selected.
• Data Area Name uniquely identifies the data area for referencing purposes. By default, the system assigns a data area with the associated object name.
• Click on the View Data Area link to view the data area's schema in the schema viewer window.
