This section describes how to create interactive or automatic scripts used to run reports. Interactive and automatic scripts used to run reports have the following differences:

• An interactive script runs in the current Supervisor session and the actions display on the PC. If the CMS Supervisor session is disconnected from the CMS server, the script will not run.

• An automatic script launches a new Supervisor session that logs into CMS and runs the requested tasks as a background process. Script actions are not displayed on the screen. Although Supervisor provides the ability to create automatic scripts, a third-party scheduling program must be used in order to run the scripts automatically on a regular schedule.
