Create and Run a Script
-----------------------


#. Add an instance to ``data/IOS``. This instance 
   contains the host, port and authentication 
   details of the device.
#. Create a Configuration Template for the Target Model Type 
   selected as ``device/ios/Script``. A GUI Rule called 
   ``ConfigurationTemplateOverride`` is applied by default
   to it to enable multiline input. 

   Macros in a script should however be written on one line.
   
   In the device/ios/Script group on the Configuration Template, 
   the following values can be entered:

   * The Description value can be entered.
   * The Expect Script value is the entered. The script can be entered over
     multiple lines. Variables can be used in the entered script - 
     sourced from either context variables or macros. Refer to
     the Expect Script Examples topic.

#. Create a Provisioning Workflow.

   * Select the Workflow Operation as run.
   * Select the Step Type as model.
   * Select the Entity or Workflow as ``device/ios/Script``
   * The Network Device Filter group's Device Instance can be a 
     selected ``data\Ios`` instance, or if not, the device can be 
     the value of a Provisioning Workflow Context variable that 
     resolves to a particular ``data\Ios`` instance, 
     for example ``{{data.Ios.* || direction:local}}``.
   * The Configuration Template is the created template that contains the
     details of the script. If a Device Instance was added to the Provisioning 
     Workflow, the script can reference it with the variable ``device_details``,
     for example the ``data/Ios`` instance as ``{{device_details.host}}``
     and ``{{device_details.host}}``. 
   * To run the script, execute the workflow.

#. Inspect the transaction. The details of the transaction show the script 
   with all macros and variables resolved, as well as the response from the 
   device.
