Scripting in Finacle –Limitations of script written on VI editor

• User must learn and remember the syntax

• Syntax errors are caught only during runtime
• User must find out the input repository fields available and output fields
expected from documentation.
• No step-by-step debugging. Must use print statements.
• No standardization
• Low readability
• Affects Productivity

session is started in FSIDE for that script
• Provides powerful features such as Debug Perspective, Step in, Step out, Step
return, Variables View, Repositories Tree View, Watch Points etc.
• Additional configuration is required to identify the right FSIDE instance
