How Scripts Work
A script is a small set of instructions, written in JavaScript. When Connect generates the actual
extraction process, it takes each step, one by one, and runs all scripts for it.
Creating a New Script
In DataMapper, you can use scripts to set Boundaries (see Boundaries Using JavaScript) or in
the Step Properties for steps such as:
l Extraction step where the data selection is based on JavaScript or you can enter a post
