Maintain Scheduled Tasks
Enables you to maintain scheduled tasks. If you are a supervisor operator, you can view and amend all tasks, whereas if you are a non-supervisor operator, you can only view and amend tasks that you originally scheduled. The task scheduler supports multiple ResourceLink accounts hosted on the same machine.
The MISC > SCHEDULER > SCHTASKS system parameter determines which Microsoft® Windows® program is used by ResourceLink to execute the scheduled tasks. When this is set to Y, the schtasks.exe program is used to run scheduled tasks (and supports more options) and when it is set to N, the at.exe program is used. The Minute and Hourly frequencies, and the Modifier field are only available on Microsoft® Windows® based systems when this system parameter is set to Y. This system parameter has no affect on UNIX® based systems.
Note: Offline Scheduler Troubleshooting describes common issues encountered when running tasks offline. Knowledgebase article KB0012601: Offline processing provides an overview of offline processing, including offline scheduling, Auto Offline processing and multi-stream processing.

Schedule
Enter an ID for the scheduled task item. You can only use alphanumeric characters and _ in the identifier.
Process
Enter the ID of the required task, or select one from the drop-down list.
Params
Click WINDOW to display Task Parameter Values, where you can specify task parameter values for the selected task.
Note: The following four fields are used in conjunction with each other to determine how often a task is run. Click 
here to view a table detailing some example task frequencies and the corresponding field settings:
Type
Enter the schedule frequency type, or select one from the drop-down list. The options are set up in the SCHTYP narrative category. The Stopped frequency should be used when a scheduled task is no longer required as it removes the scheduled task instance from the scheduler but retains the run history.
Note: If you specify a type of MTHLY, the scheduler will not run in months with less than the number of days specified. For example, if you specify 31, the scheduler will only run in months with 31 days.
Modifier
Enter the modifier number to specify how often the task should run within its schedule type.
Day, Time
Enter the day and / or time at which the scheduled task should run or start running if you have selected the Minute or Hourly frequency. For UNIX® based systems, this field should be left blank when using the Minute and Hourly frequencies as UNIX® systems do not support start times.
Status
Display only. The status indicating the task's progress.
Messages
Click WINDOW to display View Previous Run Messages, where you can view detailed run messages for the scheduled task.
Note: If there is a difference between the current time on a user’s PC and the scheduler on the server, a task may not run if it is scheduled to be run within a few minutes.
