Hi, i want to schedule a script that read and write some files into server's documents folder.

Can i do that with scriptmaster? I registered my function writetofile() in startup script and it's ok locally.

In server does not works. I need to buy a Enterprise Licence? Where can i buy it?

ScriptMaster does not have an Enterprise License. There is only the free version and the Advanced Version ($95). There is no limitation on the free version as it will allow you to use the plugin with FM Server. The ScriptMaster Advanced license allows you to create custom plugins (with whichever modules you choose), provides access to the FileMaker SQL engine and the FileMaker clipboard.

If the plugin is installed correctly and the function is being executed, this may be a permissions issue. Make sure the FileMaker Server user has read/write access to the directory you wish to use. Also, make sure you have the plugin installed in the correct directory for running server scheduled scripts. Are you error checking and logging the function response in some way? This is a very useful approach when debugging scheduled scripts.

Also keep in mind that there are three ways to implement ScriptMaster modules. It sounds like you are using the 'register on startup' option. This will work fine but will only register the modules when the ScriptMaster file is first opened. It may be easier to use the 'Copy to clipboard' option with the RegisterGroovy function which eliminates the need to open the ScriptMaster database file.

Also, as I mentioned above ScriptMaster Advanced allows you to create custom plugins. You may find this to be the simplest option of all as you can install the plugin you create on the server This option also includes access to the FileMaker clipboard and SQL engine. Also, any custom plugins created are yours to keep even if you do not renew your ScriptMaster Advanced license.

If you are still unable to determine the cause here, I'm happy to take a look at the log file from the server if you'd like to send it to me via direct email.
