Running scripts on FileMaker Server
FileMaker Server administrators can create scheduled tasks to run two types of scripts:
 •
system-level scripts (for example, Windows batch files)
 •
FileMaker Pro scripts in databases hosted by FileMaker Server
These scripts can run in sequences.
To see whether a script step is compatible with FileMaker Server:
1.
In FileMaker Pro, choose Scripts menu > Script Workspace.
2.
In the scripts pane, double-click a script name or create a script.
3.
Click Show Compatibility icon in the Script Workspace window, then select Server.
Script steps that are not supported from a FileMaker Server schedule appear dimmed.
Notes
 •
A scheduled script is run by FileMaker Server whether or not any FileMaker Pro clients have the files open. Clients will see the effect of the script (for example, if a script running in FileMaker Server changes a record, it will update in FileMaker Pro), but FileMaker Pro has no part in the script execution.
