running filemaker script as a schedule

[step wright]

I am trying to get a filemaker script step to work correctly as part of a filemaker schedule.

The script step is set web viewer [go to URL...] The url being used 'activate' a RSS service outside of filemaker. This script step is web-compatible and thus is able, in theory, to be run as part of a server schedule activated script.

The script works as a standalone script within a filemaker client.

Because the schedule runs as a session on the server I tested the URL by pasting it into a browser on the server. This worked. So there is no blocking of the URL on the server either.

Is this script step really compatible with filemaker server schedules? Any help would be appreciated.

The script is as follows:

Go to Layout [ “URL_editorialInfo” (PTO__editorialInfo) ]

Set Error Capture [ On ]

Set Web Viewer [ Object Name: "amanda_service"; URL: "http://amanda/web/request/hubNotification/setMessageUsingArgs?

type=editorial&job=ds&user=admin&rssTitle=Hub : Editorial Change : ds : for shot fb73965555&rssComment=Changes to the editorial

information for this shot have been made.&cutLength_n= 120&head…" ]

Go to Layout [ original layout ]

Are all steps web compatible? Check that first please.

Hello Steven,

yep they are all web compatible. Even the set web viewer [goto URL] step is apparently web compatible.

p.s. i forgot to say that no error message comes up and the schedule says successfully completed.
