Configuring VTA Actions to Run Scripts

You can configure actions that the script runner processor performs on events. For example, you can set up an action to run either an external script or a JavaScript program.

To configure actions for the script runner processor:

  1. In the VTA Configuration Manager navigation pane, select Edit.
  2. Under Current Configuration, click Actions.

    A list of actions appears. For example:
