Scheduled Script Use Cases

Use scheduled scripts for tasks that need to run on a set schedule or on-demand. Don't use them for big data jobs or long-running operations.

Here are a few good reasons to use a scheduled script:

• You need to log basic information about a recurring schedule

• You want to schedule a maintenance script to run later

• You need to create and then purge temporary records

• You need to asynchronously execute logic within another server script

Note:

If you previously used SuiteScript 1.0 scheduled scripts, many of the use cases for those scripts now apply to the SuiteScript 2.x SuiteScript 2.x Map/Reduce Script Type.
