Fix script or Scheduled Job?

Hello

I would like to know which is better to use regarding the Fix script function and Scheduled Job in my situation.

1. I need to delete multiplue records which is accidentaly created
2. The record deletion is planed once but may be needed in the future -> So I don't want to use the background script
3. During execution, I would like to show messages of the number of deleted records.

Docs is saying that Fix script is for application install or upgrade. So, I am worrying that it might run automatically and Schedule Job is better.

Hi,

yes your point is correct.

I have seen reluctance from customer's technical team when we tell them to use fix scripts since they consider it's mostly used during upgrade etc. and they prefer scheduled job.
