Editing an analytic script

There are two ways to edit an analytic script as follows.

Editing scripts installed with toolboxes

Follow the instructions below to edit a script that came with a BAM toolbox.

Editing manually

Follow the steps below to edit the toolbox scripts manually.

1. Go to <BAM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/bam-toolbox folder and select the .tbox file you want to edit.
2. Open the .tbox file using any file archiving utility (e.g., 7z).
3. Edit the script file in the toolbox according to your requirements. Scripts are saved inside Analytics folder in the .tbox file.
4. Once the edits are done, archive the main folder again and simply change its extension to .tbox.
5. Save the edited .tbox file in the same bam-toolbox folder mentioned above and restart the server.

Editing using the management console

Editing scripts added manually

If you have already installed BAM, you can change analytics scripts that are manually added, using the management console as follows:

1. Log in to the BAM management console and click List in the Analytics menu in the Main menu.
   

2. Select the script you want to edit and click Copy as a New Script link associated with it. 
   

   You cannot use the management console to edit a script after it is deployed. The only way to do this through the UI is, by duplicating the old script and renaming it

3. Do required modifications to the existing script and save it in a new name.
