If sysname is equal to "local" ( or is empty "" ) it will execute the script on the current Jira server. The execution will automatically define a variable named 'argv' that will contain the parameters, as a string array.

You can use return to return values back to the caller. A string array only. If the call is local, current issue is available. If the call is a remote call, the current context is lost (as issue variables will have no meaning).

Parameters

Returns

string []

The return from the script, as an array of strings (values . Values that are returned using the return keyword).

Example

//Local script, placed in a postfunction (for instance):
string [] arrp = "param1|param2";
string [] rec;
call("", "/tmp/printme.sil", arrp); //local call
rec = call("system_remote", "c:/testme.sil", arrp); //remote call
if(isNotNull(rec)) {
  //The following code prints: "Hello", "from", "remote", "jjupin"
  for(string s in rec) {
    print(s);
  }
}

3. If it is not defined, fallback on SOAP.
4. If it is still not defined, error will appear.
