- VBScript is a scripting language that is not developed any further.by Microsoft.
- The language is restricted to use of with 32bit architectures:
- In 64Bit environments VBScript can be executed from the command line by WoW64.
- JobScheduler in a 64Bit environment can execute VBScript scripts.
- However, VBScript is restricted to use of the 32Bit registry and can load classes that are registered for a 32Bit environment exlusivelyonly.
- In future releases JobScheduler Master will become available for 64Bit environments only and will therefore drop support for VBScript. JobScheduler Agents can be executed with 32Bit environments and 64Bit environments, the architecture in use is determined by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in use.
- Agents that are running with a JVM 32Bit (which is feasible within a 64Bit server architecture) integrate VBScript via the via ScriptControl.
- ScriptControl is available for 32Bit only.
- The intoduction of VBScript support for Agents offers a migration path for users of VBScript jobs:
- Jobs can be migrated from execution of with a Master to execution by with Agents.
- Migration requires
- to use the
<script language="ScriptControl:VBScript">attribute for jobs. - to assign a process class to jobs or job chains that is assigned an Agent running with a 32Bit JVM.
- to adjust the VBScript syntax when using properties of the JobScheduler API, see Compatibility between VBScript and ScriptControl:VBScript.
