SuiteScript 2.x Scheduled Script Type

Scheduled scripts are server scripts processed by SuiteCloud Processors. You can set up scheduled scripts to run one time in the future or on a recurring schedule. You can also run scheduled scripts on-demand, either from the deployment record or another script using the task.ScheduledScriptTask API.

Note:

To handle large datasets, use map/reduce scripts instead. These are newer and support parallel processing and better governance. See SuiteScript 2.x Map/Reduce Script Type.

You can manage scheduled scripts with SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) as part of file-based projects. To learn more, see SuiteCloud Development Framework. Use Copy to Account to copy a scheduled script to another account. Click Copy to Account at the top right of the script page. For details, see Copy to Account.

Use SuiteScript Analysis (part of the Application Performance Management SuiteApp) to see when a script was installed and how it's performed. For more, see Analyzing Scripts.
