Execute User-Defined Scripts from Master Properties

Master properties let you specify scripts that act on the Master server.

You may execute scripts from the following property groups:

• Replication

• If you turn On the Run Script Before Synchronization property , the synchronization process does not start until this script completes.
• If you turn On the Run Script After Synchronization property, the script runs on the Master immediately after synchronization begins. Synchronization does not wait for the script to complete.
• If you turn On Run Script upon Trigger File Creation property, (File Server scenarios only), the special actions defined in the script execute when the specified trigger file appears.

• Event Notification -- this script permits you to handle events or errors as they occur. Turn On the Execute Script property. Enter the name in the Script Name (full path) field. Provide arguments to be passed to the script in the Arguments field.

• Report Handling -- this script is invoked after a report is generated. Turn On the Execute Script property. Enter the name in the Script Name (full path) field. Provide arguments to be passed to the script in the Arguments field.
