You can use the CXA_PYTHON library:

Or use the REST API of the Data Layer with standart CXA_Datalayer

What should I copy inside those 2 following inputs :

-Instance Name 

- File Name 

PS : I use your "DevelopR" example

Here a working example:

VAR
	fbIL_ScriptInstance: IL_ScriptInstance;
	StateInstance: CXA_PYTHON.INSTANCE_STATE;
	bEnableInstance: BOOL;
	bInOperationInstance: BOOL;
	bErrorInstance: BOOL;
	ErrorIDInstance: CXA_PYTHON.ERROR_CODE;
	ErrorIdentInstance: CXA_PYTHON.ERROR_STRUCT;
	strInstanceName: STRING := 'MyTestInstance'; //Name of script instance to be created
	bResetInstance: BOOL;
	bAbortScript: BOOL;
	
	fbIL_StartScriptFile: IL_StartScriptFile;
	bExecuteFile: BOOL;
	bDoneFile: BOOL;
	bActiveFile: BOOL;
	bErrorFile: BOOL;
	ErrorIDFile: CXA_PYTHON.ERROR_CODE;
	ErrorIdentFile: CXA_PYTHON.ERROR_STRUCT;
	strFilePath: STRING(255) := 'activeConfiguration/test.py'; //Path to the file to be executed e.g. root folder of the active configuration
	ParametersFile: ARRAY [0..9] OF STRING;
END_VAR
fbIL_ScriptInstance(
	Enable:= bEnableInstance, 
	InOperation=> bInOperationInstance, 
	Error=> bErrorInstance, 
	ErrorID=> ErrorIDInstance, 
	ErrorIdent=> ErrorIdentInstance, 
	InstanceName:= strInstanceName, 
	ResetInstance:= bResetInstance, 
	AbortScript:= bAbortScript, 
	State=> StateInstance);
	
fbIL_StartScriptFile(
	Execute:= bExecuteFile, 
	Done=> bDoneFile, 
	Active=> bActiveFile, 
	Error=> bErrorFile, 
	ErrorID=> ErrorIDFile, 
	ErrorIdent=> ErrorIdentFile, 
	InstanceName:= strInstanceName, 
	FileName:= strFilePath, 
	Parameters:= ParametersFile);

This is not very clearly explained in the IDE manual (R911410625, Edition 02, image below). When deploying to the target it would appear that the file path is 

/skripts/Bosch/TIGER/application.py when in reality the path that works is /activeConfiguration/scripts/bosch/tiger/application.py

The path changed during development and is now always the active configuration for all our our apps. This has to be changed in the documentation thanks for mentioning.

Hello,

I have been trying to Start the IDE Project in the PLC application but every time I execute the StartScriptFile FB the StateInstance changes to "Error" and the ctrlX Core returns a 081F2001 Error. It seems that the EnableInstance FB creates successfully the instance, as I can see it in the Datalayer but every time I start the script it returns this error,

Attached the pictures,

Does anyone know why is this happening?

Thanks for the help,

Check out the link here

Look at C0270302. Looks like maybe there is a script error. 

Script runner could not execute the script

Cause/Remedy 1: Cause: The script interpreter has detected errors in the script. Remedy: Correct your script file.
