Hi, I have write following script in "Script Console" & It is working fine and giving me result ```python import socket import time import re def send_command(command, delay_time=5, timeout=30): host = "192.168.0.101" # Printer's IP address port = 3000 # TCP port for AlphaJet printer s = None try: s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect((host, port)) s.settimeout(timeout) # Wait for "Connection Accepted" response response = s.recv(4096).decode() if "Connection Accepted" in response: s.sendall(command.encode()) response = s.recv(4096).decode() else: return None time.sleep(delay_time) return response except socket.timeout: return None except Exception as e: return None finally: if s: s.close() def extract_label_name(response): match = re.search(r'(.*?)', response) return match.group(1) if match else "N/A" def extract_data(response): cable_match = re.search(r'aPvn="CABLE NUMBER">(\d+)', response) jacket_match = re.search(r'aPvn="jacket line ">(\d+)', response) cable = cable_match.group(1) if cable_match else "N/A" jacket = jacket_match.group(1) if jacket_match else "N/A" return cable, jacket def write_to_ignition_tags(label_name, cable, jacket): try: system.tag.writeBlocking([ "[Sample_Tags]Label_Name", "[Sample_Tags]Cable_Number", "[Sample_Tags]Jacket_Line" ], [label_name, cable, jacket]) except Exception as e: print("Failed to write tags: {}".format(e)) # Step 1: Get the label name cmd_loadlab = """""" response_loadlab = send_command(cmd_loadlab) if response_loadlab: label_name = extract_label_name(response_loadlab) # Step 2: Use the label name to get details cmd_version = """\\{}""".format(label_name) response_version = send_command(cmd_version, delay_time=10) # Step 3: Extract and write data to Ignition tags if response_version: cable, jacket = extract_data(response_version) print("\nExtracted Information:") print("Label Name: {}".format(label_name)) print("CABLE NUMBER: {}".format(cable)) print("jacket line: {}".format(jacket)) write_to_ignition_tags(label_name, cable, jacket) ``` Response is, ```python Extracted Information: Label Name: label\12 FIBER MLT DUCT-LITE 2024.txt CABLE NUMBER: 0457 jacket line: 1 >>> ``` Also I getting the same information in memory tag as well. (Pls see attached file Capture1.PNG) but when I use the same script on the "gateway event script", It is not working means memory Tag is not updating. (Pls see attached file Capture2.PNG , Capture3.PNG & Capture4.PNG) Can anyone tell me what is wrong here ? How Can I correct it ? Pls note that I am new to the Ignition. ![Capture1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/0/609011133863b483d272fa9cd02899ccb2c73a83.png) ![Capture2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/8/6803cf7db377ec1e28803293e1189eeb2f7a37ae.png) ![Capture3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/3/5314818b1832ab29966ba2fe1f8e9d46f69f1816.png) ---

A gateway tag change script is running _on_ the gateway. Does the Ignition Gateway service on whatever your host OS is: 1. Have access to the relevant IP address 2. Have access to the relevant port 3. Have the ability to open raw sockets in the OS Are there any errors in the gateway's logs? ---

I have installed the Ignition gateway on my Laptop so I am using the "localhost:8088" to access the gateway. ---

Please properly format the stack trace, see [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). It makes it easier for others to read. You can edit your post by clicking the penicl icon in the bottom right. As for the cause: > [@Rakesh\_Parmar](#): > > global name 'socket' is not defined It seems that its not happy with your use of `socket` You should define this script in the scripting library of this project. There are some weird behaviors (most notable is the need to `import system`) with contexts in the event scripts. These are almost always corrected by defining the script in the script library and calling the function from the event script.
