The f=vbscript Request
This request function is mapped to the Java class com.arbortext.e3.FunctionVbscript. . It allocates an Arbortext PE sub-process and invokes an Arbortext PE Application written in VBScript, returning the response generated by the Arbortext PE Application. VBScript is specifically for Windows platforms.
The VBScript Arbortext PE Application to be run is identified by the function parameter, which must specify the name of the VBScript function to be invoked. All other query parameters, along with the rest of the HTTP request, are passed to the Arbortext PE Application for processing. The VBScript function must be listed in the Allowed Function List (see The Allowed Functions List) in e3config.xml or the Arbortext PE Request Manager will return an error message instead.
