Review and Approving Scripts

A script must be reviewed and approved before it is executed.

Reviewing is a one-time activity. The Review option is disabled once a script is approved.

Review a Script

1. In the Scripts tab, select a script and then click Quick Actions > Review.

The Review option is disabled if the selected script is already reviewed and approved, or if it is deprecated or rejected.

The Review page displays if there is any command in the script that may impact the system behavior and performance of your assets, and warns you through a disclaimer. 

 Review the Secondary Approval Workflow setting on the Configuration > Setup page before you approve the script. If the Secondary approval workflow is enabled, you cannot approve your own scripts, even if you have approval permission. Another user with approval permissions must review and approve them before they can be scheduled or executed. For more information about Secondary Approval Workflow, refer to Setup. If the Secondary Approval Workflow is disabled, you can approve your scripts.

2. Add comments for approval in Comments and then click Approve to proceed. 

3. In the Risk Acceptance for Approval page, write the Risk Acceptance text as it is in the field provided, and then click Accept.

The script status changes to 'Approved'.

The Execute option in the Quick Actions menu is enabled to execute the script and the Review option gets disabled.
