To start the Scheduler service
You must have Administrator privileges to start the Scheduler service.
1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Select Services (local) in the left side of the Services window.
3. Select SchedulrSvc in the right side of the Services window.
4. The SchedulrSvc Startup Type should be Automatic. If it is Manual or Disabled,
right-click on SchedulrSvc and select Properties. In the Properties dialog box, set
Startup Type to Automatic, and then click OK.
5. The SchedulrSvc Status should be Started. If it is Stopped, right-click on
SchedulrSvc and select Start.
After you have enabled the Scheduler service, it starts when you start Windows.
Scheduled events are executed only when the Scheduler service is running. You can use
the Scheduler on any computer in an Emonitor Online system (both Viewing station and
Unload station computers).
These steps show you how to set up two different online profiles. The first is the Online
Import Event, which looks for unload files (containing data from the data collection
instruments) in the unload directory and sends the information to the Emonitor database.
The second is the Storage Limit Updater, which allows you to limit data storage to
specific parameters and specify a time during low database usage, saving disk space and
time (a database maintenance task). Follow these steps to set up online profiles using
Scheduler.
We strongly recommend that you leave the Startup Type for the SchedulrSvc as “Automatic”
in the Services console. This starts the Scheduler service automatically when Windows
starts.
The Emonitor Scheduler is installed as part of the Emonitor software. Since Scheduler profiles
are stored in the central Emonitor database, all scheduler profiles are launched on all computers
in an Emonitor Online system that are running the Scheduler service. This may not be a problem
if you are using Scheduler only for data import tasks on one or two computers. If you are using
Scheduler for additional kinds of tasks, such as Emonitor database maintenance, running the
same scheduled task from multiple computers can place a significant load on the Database
Server computer. Refer to the Scheduler help for more information (Start > Programs >
Rockwell Software > Emonitor > Help > Scheduler).
For more information on setting up different kinds of Scheduler profiles, refer to the Scheduler
online help.
