Jython Scripting for FDMEE (2 days)

Audience

System administrators, consultants and developers.

Learning Objectives

Learn how to develop Jython scripts effectively from the ground up. See how scripts can be created and tested in an external editor before being transferred to FDMEE. Gain an understanding of the various script types and the ways in which these can extend your default processes. You will also explore the available objects in FDMEE that can be referenced by scripts.

Course Description

Gain an understanding of basic Jython syntax and how various commands can be accessed. This includes the use of variables, comments, string methods, formatting operators, functions, conditional branches, lists, loops and other scripting features. After familiarising yourself with these features, explore how they can be used in relation to FDMEE details.

​

Discover how import scripts can be used to tailor the details that are imported to FDMEE during the Import process. See how mapping scripts can be used to customise the mappings that are applied. Discover how event scripts can alter the standard workflow by triggering additional processes and how Custom scripts can be used to enable functionality that needs to be run on an ad hoc basis.

You will gain experience of displaying custom messages, writing messages to the FDMEE process log, executing SQL queries, handling errors and working with text files.
