Hello, Could someone help me with what should be a very simple issue? I am using the latest version of ignition in trial mode. I have watched the two training videos on scripting. The person giving the sessions did not show an example of a gateway script. I can not get the scripting to work. T…

The output of gateway scripts don’t show up in your designers console because they aren’t running in your designer; right now you can find their output in the gateway’s logs. Sorry about the confusion.

Hi Kevin, Could you give me an example of a one or two line script that will write something to the gateway log? Am I correct to assume that the log to look at is under the Ignition/Configure Tab in the section System / Console? I can see a log entry registered “Restarting Gateway Scripts” when I…

The output of print "hello" will show up in the gateway wrapper log will show up in installdir/logs/wrapper.log

Hi Kyle, Thankyou. It does show up in that file log. I couldn’t find this in the manual. The manual leads you to believe that Gateway and Client scripts work the same except for the fact that Gateway scripts are always running and Client scripts are dependent on the client. However, I see in th…

There is a a way to log from the gateway to the console instead of the wrapper log. You will need the following code #Import Apache log4j import sys sys.add_package('org.apache.log4j') from org.apache.log4j import LogManager #Create the logger with the name you want logger = LogManager.getLogger(…

Hi Kyle, Thanks for that idea. I will try it. We are looking at ignition as a way to replace a large web application that was under development. Unfortunately, some very large and sophisticated programs were constructed in php to interact with MySQL. These programs ran on the server at the top …

Why not get into Java and create some modules?

@Kyle - it sounds like he’s trying to lighten his programming load not expand it. @Rich - good point. The documentation should be more thorough with Gateway scripting.

Both are strong points. Personally, I’d recommend calling your php items to begin with, then as time allows (if you’re like me, that may be several months or a couple of years :laughing: ), you can test and migrate your php scripts to Jython or Java to streamline your processes.

This made me laugh. Not that it's a bad idea (it's not - creating modules is awesome and powerful), but the way you made it sound so casual.
