Starting Tasks for Execution

After tasks have been created, start tasks for execution. Tasks can be started on a local computer in the scheduled tasks container or using the task schedulerthat allows for executing scheduled resource intensive tasks.

IMPORTANT. The task scheduler must be located separately from the BI server.

Tasks can be executed:

On a specified schedule.
On a condition: on calculating the specified function or validation rule with certain result.
After a certain system or custom event.

To start tasks, follow the steps:

Create a configuration file.
Start the task scheduler:

Automatically as a service. Depending on the OS where it is started, the service creation differs. On working on Windows OS, the Windows OS service executes this function and on working on Linux OS it is implemented via init script for initialization system.
Manually with specified parameters.

The task scheduler polls the task container in specified time intervals and if the time has come, it executes the tasks. By default the task scheduler checks the existence of tasks every 5 minutes. If the time of task execution is the same for more than one task, they are executed simultaneously.

Authorize in the repository if the configuration file of the task scheduler contain the defined <Credentials Authentication="0"/> parameter.

View and update scheduler settings if required.

View tasks status.

Stop running tasks and close the scheduler if required.

After the task has been created, the following operations are available:

NOTE. When working with a number of tasks in the task scheduler, there are features of distributing task threads.
