Controlling Scripting Access

BlueZone Scripting

Chapter 10

Controlling Scripting Access

BlueZone Scripting can be controlled by the BlueZone Administrator by making several scripting files available or unavailable during the BlueZone installation process. This method of making files available or unavailable is controlled by the BlueZone Distribution Image.

SEE Creating a Distribution Image in Chapter 6, for more information on creating a BlueZone Distribution Image.

BlueZone Proprietary Scripting

BlueZone Proprietary Scripting is controlled by the presence of the BlueZone Script Editor (BZSE.EXE) file.

If the BZSE.EXE file is included in the BlueZone Distribution Image, then End Users will be able to record, edit and play BlueZone Proprietary Scripts (.bzs).

If the BZSE.EXE file is not included in the BlueZone Distribution Image, then End Users will only be able to play BlueZone Proprietary Scripts (.bzs).

SEE "Introduction to BlueZone Scripting" in this chapter, for more information on BlueZone Proprietary Scripting.

BlueZone Text Based Scripting

BlueZone Text Based Scripting is controlled by the BlueZone Script Host (BZSH.EXE) file and the BlueZone Script Host Player (BZSHP.EXE) file.

If the BZSH.EXE file is included in the BlueZone Distribution Image, then End Users will be able to record, edit and play BlueZone Text Based Scripts (.vbs, .js, etc.).

If the BZSHP.EXE file is included but the BZSH.EXE file is not included in the BlueZone Distribution Image, then End Users will only be able to play BlueZone Text Based Scripts (.vbs, .js, etc.).

If neither the BZSHP.EXE file nor the BZSH.EXE files are included in the BlueZone Distribution Image, then End Users will not be able to record, edit or play BlueZone Text Based Scripts (.vbs, .js, etc.).

NOTE By default, both the BZSH.EXE and the BZSHP.EXE files are installed if you selected "BlueZone VBScript/JScript Scripting Host" during installation or the creation of a BlueZone Distribution Image. If both files are included in the image, BlueZone will act as if only the BZSH.EXE file is present. This is done to make it easier for BlueZone Administrators to control BlueZone Scripting.

For End Users to be able to both record and play scripts, do nothing. To change to play only mode, delete the BZSH.EXE file from the image, leaving the BZSHP.EXE file.
