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 editing a setting located in the SETUP.INI file located in 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 included the BZSC.CAB file in the BlueZone Distribution Image.

SEE  Introduction to BlueZone Scripting in this chapter, for more information on BlueZone Text Based Scripting.

How it is Controlled

For end users to be able to record, edit and play scripts, do nothing.  To change to play only mode, edit the SETUP.INI file and change InstallScriptPlayerOnly=No to Yes.  This will cause only the BZSHP.EXE file to be installed.

SEE  Install Script Player Only Feature in Chapter 6, for detailed instructions on how to modify the SETUP.INI file.
