Scheduled scripts Server 8

[DikkeHenk]

Hi,

I know FM server 8 runs scheduled backups but does it also run scheduled scripts. I have to create records overnight and when it does not I have to do it with ZippScript.

Not FileMaker scripts as Server 9 does. It can run OS level scripts though.

Thank you for answering,

My client has to upgrade to server 9 or else I have to do a couple of more hours sripting with zippScript.

Remember that in Server 9 there are restrictions on the ScriptMaker steps that can be run server-side. Basically it's web compatible steps.

Also, [color:red]and this is very important, be sure thoroughy to test before deployment, If the script crashes, it can also crash the database service.
