How to schedule vb script on client

[IvanDeMarco97]

Hi everyone, I created a script on a mimic that I call with the "Mimic_load" method, is it possible to run this function every minute? The script must run on the client using the "SetRegistry" function.

Thank you!

That sounds like a task that is probably better served by using Windows Task Scheduler to me.

Scripts can only run continuously in the context of a mimic. As soon as the mimic is closed, or a script is run on the same or another mimic, the script is stopped. Scripts should not be used for continuous operations, and as the previous commenter wrote, consider scheduling a task, either server-side using Logic, or client-side using a scheduler or service and a program written in the language of your choice to access Geo SCADA.

It is unthinkable that all users who connect should create a Task on Windows...
If I have to use the "SetRegistry" function I cannot use the ST logic since it is server-side.

I think the better angle to take here is to understand what you're trying to accomplish.  There's likely a bad design at play and there's alternative ways to do what you're trying to do.  Steve has some options above that you can consider, but ultimately knowing the specifics would help us guide you on the right path.

Well maybe there is another way to accomplish whatever your end goal is.

If you explain that maybe one of us will have an alternate idea you could try.
