Scripts

The integrated expression language helps with most everyday data processing tasks. However, sometimes it’s just not enough. There comes a time when you need the power of a full-scale programming language with loops, variable, constant declarations etc. For this, AggreGate Server processes scripts written in pure Java. It runs these scripts within the server’s Java Virtual Machine (JVM), therefore allowing them to access all internal server data in addition to the script's own input parameters.

Scripts may be called from expressions, thus making them accessible for:

	Script

• Alert triggering
• Event filtering
• Queries
• Custom forms and HMI data processing
• Preparing report source data

Scripts are written in Java and thus may access all resources of the machine AggreGate Server is running on, including:

• File system
• Network and serial I/O
• Console, logging, and even GUI
• Multithreaded processing
