Description

Excerpt
hiddentrue
Executes SIL™ SIL script on the current host or different host.

Executes SIL script on the current host or different host. 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.

Notes

Note

For remote calls, you need additional steps (see the configuration manual).

Windows: We recommend you to use forward slashes "/" in paths instead of "\" since it will simplify your life.

Resolution of the remote system goes as following, as you may define the same name for a remote system in multiple places:

  1. If the name of the system is empty ('') or the string 'local' it will call a local script.
  2. Find the name of the system as defined by REST. If it is defined, it calls the REST remote system.
  3. If it is not defined, fallback on SOAP.
  4. If it is still not defined, error will appear.
