Using JavaScript Update

There are two options to run JavaScript Update.

  1. Specify the parameters interactively.

  2. Use a pre-generated definition file.

  To perform a JavaScript update:

  1. Select Navigate, then Impact Manager, and then JavaScript Update.

    Control Mode is displayed.

  2. Enter a Task Description, to identify the task in Show Task Status.

    A default description is provided.

  3. Select an option:

    1. Select Specify parameters interactively, and click Next to move to Parameters.

    2. Select Use a definition file.

      1. Click Browse (next to Select a Task Definition File).

        The Task Definition File is a text file, that contains one line per document to transform. Therefore, to update 10 documents, the file would contain 10 lines. Each line contains the raw parameters required to run the script separated by commas, that is; parameter1="value1", parameter2="value2". The values are the UUIDs and data models for the transformation. Most files require many parameters per line. Users wanting to perform batch updates compile a list of documents using an Interactive Reporting document to generate the parameter file.

      2. Click Next to move to Schedule.
