Selecting a FileMaker script to run

Note The following information is for server administrators and group administrators.

In this Schedule assistant step, select the FileMaker script that you want to run.

To select a FileMaker script to run:

1. Select the script from the Script Name list.

Tip If a script group in the list is closed, click the icon beside the group name to open the group and view the scripts.

If you still cannot see any scripts for the selected database, check whether the FileMaker Script Engine (FMSE) is running. If it is not running, use the command fmsadmin start fmse to start it. See START command for more information.

2. Enter an optional Script parameter.

Note Script parameters are passed to the FileMaker script as text. For example, if you enter the script parameter 5 + 5, then the text string “5 + 5” is passed to the script, not the value 10.

For more information on script parameters, see FileMaker Pro Help.

3. Select Time limit (minutes) to stop the script after the minutes entered.

4. Select Abort schedule if time limit reached or server stopped to stop the schedule from running.

5. Click Next.

Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to exit the Schedule assistant.
