Security considerations also play a part. The computer running scripts might be better served elsewhere.
There are advantages to running regular tasks through Server. With enhancements in FileMaker Server 10 and 11, a veritable movement has risen in the FileMaker community to stomp out robot usage in favor of handling such events through FileMaker Server instead. This can off-load many tasks currently assigned to robot boxes, computers whose sole purpose is to connect to FileMaker Server, mimic a user and run various events. Yet aside from integration, FileMaker’s server-side scripting also runs native FileMaker scripts. This shows one of the many ways that FileMaker integrates with external systems, one of the great benefits of working with FileMaker. In an earlier post I wrote about FileMaker Server’s ability to combine system scripts, or shell scripts, with native FileMaker scripts.
