Creating Scheduled Scripts

Scheduled Scripts are accessed from the Scheduled tab of the Scripting Center. See Scripting Switches to enable this feature.

Scheduled scripts are created in a similar same way to form scripts and follow the same Scripting Workflow. Notice that scheduled scripts have additional menu options available from the Status menu:

Run script deployment — Prompts for confirmation and on OK will add a one-time schedule event to the platform script deployment job queue.
Cancel queued runs — Prompts for confirmation and on OK will cancel any jobs queued to run for this script.

Scheduled scripts are not associated with a form and cannot access the NSOA.form functions.

To create a scheduled script:

Sign in as an Administrator and go to the Scheduled tab on the Scripting Center.

Note:
Make sure you have the necessary switches enabled, see Scripting Switches.
Create a new scheduled script from the Create Button.

You need to specify a unique filename for the script in the Dedicated Scripting Workspace. You can optionally select a document that already has the script you need otherwise an empty script file will be created. If you specify a document to upload then a new script file is created from the specified file and the original file left untouched.
Click on the Script link in the Scripting Center to open the script in the Scripting Studio.
Type the script into the editor and then fill out fields in the Scripting Studio Tools and Settings:
1. Select the user that the script will run for ‘In testing’ state, see Testing and Debugging.
2. Select any libraries referenced by this script.
3. Event is fixed as ‘Scheduled’.
4. Select the Entrance function, the name of your function to run in the editor, see Entrance Function.
5. Use the Code revision comments to comment the script changes made.
6. Click SAVE.
Note:
The act of saving a script in the ”Inactive” state will move the script to the ”In testing” state, see Scripting Workflow.
