A Script object is processed at a workflow's activation time provided that it is part of this workflow and that the check box "Generate at Runtime" (Attributes tab) has not been selected. During runtime, its status changes to "Finished".
Runtime
Script with the option Generate at runtime being set:
Script without the option Generate at runtime being set:
Synchronization and max. number of parallel running tasks
In executable objects, the system always checks Sync objects and the maximum number of parallel running tasks after they have been generated regardless of the setting "Generate at runtime". As there is no execution stage for Script objects, they end when they have been generated. The following exception results thereof: The defined Sync object actions and the verification of parallel running tasks take place prior to the generation stage if the option Generate at runtime has been activated. Otherwise, these settings do not have any effect.
