Conditions for automatically running a fix script

[bjornvandommele]

When I create a fix script, will upgrading my instance to a different version of ServiceNow automatically execute this fix script or do I have to run it by hand? Are fix script executed after a clone operation? Under which conditions is a fix script run automatically by ServiceNow?

Hi Bjorn :

Fix script never runs automatically. You need to run it manually after clone too. You can schedule a script by scheduled job.

Go to left navigation -->scheduled job--->click on new---> Choose automatically running the script of your choice.

Copy paste you fix script code here and schedule it accordingly.

Are there really no situations where a fix script will run automatically?

I am developing a scoped application and when I load it into a new instance from Studio via a source control import, I can see that my fix script was run without my   having to navigate to the Fix Scripts list and run it manually.

I can see log updates and record updates that only the fix script can perform.

What's even more interesting is that I have a second fix script that isn't run automatically, and as far as I can tell, the only difference in the settings is that the Run Once value is true. I've deleted the app a few times off the instance and reloaded it, so I wonder if it literally ran once during the first load and won't for any future loads.
