Test Scripts
You can evaluate a script on a test asset before you execute it on production assets. This step is optional; however, it is recommended to test a script to avoid any failure in the production environment.
Testing can be done before or after a script is reviewed and approved.
To know more about reviewing a script, refer to Review.
To execute a selected script on test assets, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Scripts tab.
- Select a script and click Test Script from the Quick Actions menu.
The Test Script option is disabled if the script is deprecated or rejected.
- In the Select Assets screen, define the scope of your script by selecting assets and/or by including asset tags. You can select any of the following options for asset selection while executing a script:
- Manual Asset Selection
- Import Assets
- Automated Assets Selection
For further details, refer to the Execute Scripts section.
Maximum of 10 assets can be tested at a time. Select tags option is not provided, since one tag may have more than 10 assets linked to it.
A new job is created and listed under the Jobs tab. For the test scripts, a job is created as: Test-ScriptName-TimestampEpoch (do not include milliseconds).
The manifest is executed every 15 minutes and the status is updated as 'Success' or 'Failure'.
In case of failure, you can edit the script and check for possible issues for failure. To edit a script, refer to Editing Scripts.
