Configuring a Scriptor Component

  • Article

The script run by a Scriptor component can be stored internally, as part of a pipeline configuration file (.pcf), or externally, in a separate file called by the component when it runs.

You can write a general-purpose script that can behave differently depending on the parameters that are passed to it. Save the script itself in a file, and then configure the Scriptor component to pass the parameters.

The Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) context is not available to a Scriptor component or to any components called by a Scriptor (that is, context.SetComplete and context.SetAbort are not available to scripts hosted by the Scriptor component).
