Windows scheduler

On Windows servers the standard scheduler may be configured from the control panel: Scheduled tasks

The xBus provides some batch files, which start the execution of processing one or more interfaces in both directions. The scheduling of these batch files will be configured in the Windows scheduler. To determine which batch file should be use for the specific tasks, read Scripts description from the Operation topics.

Here is short description how to configure the Windows scheduler.

  • A wizard supports in configuring the scheduler.
  • First you select the program to execute. Just choose the correct batch file. The necessary arguments you can specify later.
  • Choose the name for the scheduled job.
  • Then choose the coarse schedule - typically "daily". Repetitions within one day you can specify later.
  • Specify the first execution and the coarse rhythm.
  • Enter the user data - make sure to use the correct account.

  • In the advanced properties dialog add the necessary parmeters to the scheduled command.
