New Scripting Syntax Verification FunctionA new 243 Ostendo.exe build has been released today, introducing a powerful feature that allows you to run syntax checking across all scripts within a database.
This new validation operates similarly to the existing Syntax Check option within the Scripting Editor, but with an important enhancement: it also identifies incompatibility in scripts that may contain obsolete 242-era scripting functions that are no longer supported in version 243. For example, scripts that previously connected to another database using the 242 connection method will now be flagged. This is because the database connection framework in 243 has changed and those earlier functions are no longer valid. These scripts will need to be updated accordingly.

You can access this new feature via:
File → Scripting Configuration → Verify Scripts
 
In the example shown, there are 88 scripts within the database. (Note: this total includes all scripts, whether they are assigned to a specific user or All Users.)
Upon completion of the verification process, a log file will be generated. This file can be saved and used to easily identify scripts that contain errors or deprecated functions, assisting in targeted debugging and script remediation.
Please note: this process checks syntax only.
It does not perform any logical evaluation. It remains your responsibility to ensure that each script works as intended and produces the correct outcomes in practice. |
