Editing In-Place an Execute Step

To edit an Execute script step:

  1. Select the step in the Script Steps table.
  2. Edit the step parameters as follows:
    • Session: This column displays the current session.
    • Return Variable: This column displays the return variable name, which enables you for example to retrieve defined portions of the command output.
    • Command String: This column displays the executed command. If the command is actually a multi-line commands sequence, only the first command line is shown.
    • Click into the column and edit in-place the command. See Execute Command in Step Configuration Wizard.

      Alternatively, click the button displaying a drop-down pane and edit the command in the pane that appears. See Execute Command in Step Configuration Wizard.

    • Run Type: This column displays the run mode, sequential or parallel.
    • Click into the column and edit in-place.

      Alternatively, click the button displaying a drop-down pane and select the run type.

In the Session column, click the respective session for a command type to get a list of all the applicable sessions. The sessions are grouped in the list according to their names and type. Example:

Consider that there are two sessions, one being a Telnet session, and the other an SSH session. These two sessions appear in the Session box under the same name, for example, Session 1. Both these sessions will have different images appearing next to them, indicating whether it is a Telnet session or an SSH session.
