Turning On the Script Feature

To turn on the Script feature:

  1. Click the Script toggleswitch once. This will display the Script Enable Disclaimer popup, as shown in the figure below.

Turning On Script Disclaimer

  1. At this point, you have the opportunity to either continue to turn on Script, or cancel the request and leave Script disabled.

        This moves the toggle from off to on, as shown in the figure below.

        b. To cancel the request to turn Script on, click Cancel.

Important Note: It can take up to 24 hours after being enabled for the Script feature to become fully operational across all of an organization’s endpoints. This time frame can be accelerated by forcing the endpoint to reconnect to the Orbital service. For example, you can restart or reboot the endpoint device, or restart the endpoint device’s network interface.
In certain instances, it can take longer than the 24 hour period for Script to become operational. This can be indicated by Orbital returning the exit code 207 for a Python script that has been run against a node that has not yet activated Script.

  1. Click the Script toggleswitch once. This will display the Script Disable Disclaimer popup, as shown in the figure below.
