Installing online components
You can run all the components of the online system onto a single computer or you can
use several computers for an online system. If you are using a multi-user database, you
can designate certain computers as Unload Stations and Viewing Stations, as illustrated in
this diagram. For Emonitor with a single-user database, the Viewing Station, Database
Server, and Unload Station are all on the same computer.
For more information on the Emonitor Online system, please refer to the Emonitor Online
Getting Results Guide, and the help for the Online Data Management Console (Click
Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > Emonitor > Help > Online Data
Management Console).
Setting up Scheduler to automate tasks
You can use the Scheduler program to automate many data-related tasks. A task
automated in Scheduler is called an event. A Scheduler profile defines not only the event,
but also when and how often the event should occur. The Scheduler has two parts:

The Scheduler program that allows you to create and edit profiles.

The Scheduler service that runs in the background and launches (executes) the
scheduled profiles. The Scheduler service must be running in order to execute
scheduled profiles.
The Emonitor Scheduler service is disabled by default. In order to launch (run) scheduled
tasks, including importing data, you must enable the Scheduler service.
This section only applies to Emonitor Online systems. If you do not have Emonitor Online, you
can skip this section and go to Setting up Scheduler to automate tasks on page 13.
