Schedule a Transaction run

When you use the Scheduler to schedule a run in advance, Studio automatically connects to SAP, runs the transaction on the schedule you set up, and then closes the connection with SAP.

Notes:
To run a scheduled script on a virtual machine (VM) with Windows 7 or later or Windows Server 2008 or later, you must remain logged on to the VM.

For information about running Winshuttle with Citrix, see Citrix installation with Winshuttle products.
