ScriptRunner Server is the main component of ScriptRunner. All functionality for the controlled execution of PowerShell scripts, for delegation and automation as well as for reporting are located here.
All PowerShell scripts that are used by ScriptRunner are stored and managed centrally in the script repository. A configurable directory on the ScriptRunner host is constantly monitored for changes and the scripts are parsed. Scripts can be uploaded to the repository or synchronized from an external code management branch such as Git, TFS or svn.
ScriptRunner ISE Add-on is an extension for the classic PowerShell ISE. It enhances the editor with professional script development features and serves as connector to the ScriptRunner Server.
Per default, all target systems for which PowerShell modules are available can be operated with ScriptRunner, whether it be server/ clients/ storage, applications, services or other devices.
Target systems can be located on-premises, in the cloud or in hybrid landscapes.
ScriptRunner Portal is the GUI through which users can configure and interact with ScriptRunner Server.
