Execute Scripts for Deployment
Executing scripts allows you to register, unregister, and run scripts that add a set of instructions or commands to an asset or assets in an Axeda agent The scripts are later deployed and published. The advantage of registering a script is that you can do the following:
• Validate the instruction you want to run against an asset or assets.
• Run the script multiple times against the same asset or assets as required by using the script name you have registered.
