Scheduling Automated Tasks – uPerform On-Premise Manuals

The Server can be configured to automatically:

Globalize the documents in the globalize queue daily during off-peak hours.
Publish the documents in the publish queue daily at off-peak hours.
Synchronize your users and groups.
Allow the use of test certificates with the Server.

The ANCILE.uSchedule.exe application and the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler can be configured and run from the application server. The account used to run the task on the application server must have administrative rights on the server. In addition, you can have multiple ANCILE.uSchedule.exe tasks to allow you to execute multiple configuration options (for example, execute a Glossary task at midnight and execute a Publishing task at 7:00am).

NOTE:

Any uSchedule tasks scheduled prior to version 4.5 will need to be recreated.
