Job Scheduler

RoddyMcLean

Hi folks,

I need to run a codeunit at the same time every night and intend to use the job scheduler. Are there any issues with running the Job Scheduler in the following configurations? Will there be performance degradation?

1. A PC set aside to run the job scheduler.
2. An instance of Navision running on the Navision server will be used to run the Job scheduler.

Best Regards
Roddy

If you have an instance of navision running is easier to use On timer trigger store into a form.

Do you have a license for the Application Server? If so you could setup an application server instance to serve as a scheduler.

aplogies for hijacking a thread, but on the question of the scheduler, if i was to place a post batch job in there, when the job is run it gives an warning to which i have to say "yes" (it defaults to No). Is there a way of getting past this?

Great site btw!

There is a very simple solution. Just write your own code unit to supplement the post (yes/no) one or whatever batch post codeunit you are using. You could simply copy the body of the one to the other and leave out the confirm() call.
If the batch codeunit you are calling has no purpose other than the prompting then you could even circumvent it and call the codeunit that it calls directly.
