    Can anyone please clarify my doubt. In automic script, apart from UC4 script is it possible to code in JAVA/Dot Net?. if so, please guide me. I could see automic has functionality directly run Powershell /DOS command. Likewise we can directly type java / Dot Net code.?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Yes and no.

    out of the box you can use:

    Automic script
    WIN/DOS commands
    unix/bash scripting
    any os commands supported by the OS agents

    by customizing parameters/interpreters you can from V11.1 on
    run powershell commands
    perl commands

    so if you configure a .net interpreter it should be no problem.
    same with java....

    apart from this you can use JAVA API (a.k.a. application interface) to work with automic objects.

    To add to what FrankMuffke posted above.

    Powershell scripting should have most of the .NET libraries available for use.

    We had also used successfully Python scripting via :BEGIN_EXT_INTERPRETER... :END_EXT_INTERPRETER method, and acttually had ability to run Python2 and Python3 scripts with different setting.

    My guess is that any Interpreted language code probably will work with this method.

    For compiled languages (which is Java and C#, for example) :BEGIN_EXT_INTERPRETER method probably will not work.

    possibly you can create a seperate job/Workflow that takes the Script content (e.g. as script variable), creates a file, compiles it and executes it....

    Thanks Wolfgang Brueckler & Vlad Navazhylau for the clarification.  I tried running java class file via cmd.exe it went fine.

    You can actually run C# code within Powershell. However compiling it first and execute the assembly might be smarter..
