Is there a way to use the MC SQL scheduler to perform daily task like generate reports produced by MSaccess ? I can use the scheduler from NT resource kit to run scheduled reports, but would like the nicer SQL scheduler. Is it possible to use the type CMDEXEC as vehicle to start e.g. msaccess ? I tried and sofar the only thing I can see is nothing (no entries in the eventlogger nor in the SQL errorlogger), but when the task is started a beep is heared on the system the task is scheduled.

Eric, do you want to schedule jobs to run on the same machine or a different machine? If it's the same machine then it should be easy. When I was working on RCW (which I'm sure your familiar with!) the EODB feeder and the Synch tasks were run from the SQLServer scheduler. Unless it has changed since v2 you can just look and see how it's done. Cheers, Brian | |||||

I can not get anything to work form the cmdexec. I changed the user SQLexec was running under to the user we did this setup on and now the system won;t beep anymore. It just can start msaccess when only the path spec to msaccess is specified. In task mgr i see the msaccess.exe process pop up. But as soon as I try to pass params to it is end's up with error's like: 'The system can not find the file specified' were I'm sure that the syntax is correct. Eric |
