Summary
To copy scheduled tasks between two computers you need only copy the configuration file(s) for the tasks in question. Instructions on how to do this are below and in the Arcana Scheduler online help (look for "Copying schedule information between computers" in the Arcana Scheduler online help index or click here, then see the "Data Files" section).
Details
The Scheduler Service stores information on scheduled programs in the schedules\1 subdirectory of the Arcana Scheduler program directory (e.g., c:\program files\arcana development\arcana scheduler\schedules\1). You should not attempt to edit any of the files in this directory.
The directory contains one file (with the extension .cfg) for each scheduled program. The description you provided for the program is used as the file name.
To copy one or more scheduled programs between two computers, simply find the correct configuration files and copy them to the corresponding directory on the other computer. For the Scheduler on the destination computer to recognize the new programs, you must stop and restart the Arcana Scheduler service.
Please note:
- The target computer must be running the same or a later version of the Arcana Scheduler as what is running on the source computer.
- After you copy the configuration files to the target computer, you must stop and restart the Arcana Scheduler on that computer for it to recognize the new tasks.
- If the Arcana Scheduler is not licensed on the target computer (i.e., is running in evaluation mode) the new tasks will not be imported by the Scheduler. Tasks can only be copied to a licensed installation.
