Certain maintenance and reporting jobs can be setup to run
automatically at specific times from a Linux or Windows
network.
The listing of these jobs can be maintained in this schedule, by
job name, occurrence, time, and printer. The last date and time
that the job was run is also displayed.
Note: The Time that some of these jobs can be run may be limited
to outside of business hours to prevent record locking.
These jobs can only be scheduled to run before 4:00AM and after
11:00PM depending on the scope and intrusiveness of the job.
Automatic Job Scheduling can be maintained in the window in the
"General Settings" on the System tab of the Configure System Settings.
An operator must be assigned a Security
Role that allows permission to the System - Automatic Job
Scheduling in order to access this table.
Some of these cronjobs, such as those collecting data for the
utilization reporting, record a "Snapshot" of the status of each
product at a regular pre-determined data capture date and time.
The "Snapshot" job does not require a printer, as a file is created
but no output is actually produced at that time. The output can
then later be generated as a report or email from Rental Utilization Reports, or Dollar/Time Utilization, or as a report or email
from other jobs setup in Background Tasks Processing.
In a Windows environment if the gateways are not proving reliable running the job scheduler, refer to the section for Windows BKTX, Job Scheduling and Emailing which outlines the configuration for using the Windows Scheduler to perform these tasks.
