1.
On the menu, select Window > Preferences.
2.
Click Scripting.
3. Set a number of iterations (maximum one billion) and click OK.
Sorting
In the Scripts Profiler, the scripts are by default sorted based on the values in the Elapsed
column, from high to low. Click any of the columns to sort the scripts according to the values in
that column.
Script timeout
When testing scripts, either by toggling to Preview mode or by using the Script Profiler, a script
timeout is active in the Designer, so that scripts that need a very long time to run are stopped
after a set time. You can adapt this timeout to your needs, as follows:
1.
On the menu, select Window > Preferences.
2.
Click Scripting.
3. Set a timeout in seconds (for example: 2s) and click OK. The minimum timeout is 1
second.
Note
The script timeout is not active when generating output.
Optimizing scripts
In the process of output generation, the execution of scripts may take up more time than
necessary. To optimize a template, it helps to disable scripts that don't have an effect on the
output; see "Managing scripts" on page245.
This topic presents a number of other ways to speed up script execution by optimizing the
scripts.
