Running server-side scripts
FileMaker Server can run two types of scripts to automate
administrative tasks:
Both FileMaker scripts and system-level scripts execute on the
master machine in your FileMaker Server
deployment.
To run a script, create a scheduled task on FileMaker Server. Specify the script, and when and how often to run the script. As with any schedule, you can run the scheduled task manually at any time.
You can also create a
Script Sequence scheduled task that runs optional
pre-processing and
post-processing system-level scripts before and after a FileMaker script. See
Creating Script Sequence tasks.
Note If you are a group administrator, your server administrator must configure your administrator group to allow you to run scripts associated with the databases in your group folder. For more information, contact your server administrator.
