Appendix F: Direct Execution
When technical issues occur, it can be helpful to execute scripts on tenants to check the data and investigate the root cause of the problem. You can use the Direct Execution operation to run Groovy scripts directly on your tenant instances.
On the Direct Execution page in Max Designer, you can enter scripts and call the operation to execute them. After execution, you can view the output in this page, and logs are stored in Execution Log records for easy access. Full execution history with results is retained so that you can review outputs and run scripts again when needed.

• Before you import the classes used in your scripts, be sure to check the Groovy Blacklist Classes setting record and remove any classes listed there from your code.
• Direct Execution is available only to users with the System Administrator or Developer roles.
