Specifying the Task Execution Server

Use the Task Execution Server page to specify which task execution server you want to use to run the task. If you installed the MessageStats Server through a custom or distributed installation, you had the option of installing additional task processors on separate servers.

On Task Execution Server page, you can identify the Task Execution Server that houses the task processors. If you have only one Execution Server available, the Server box is read-only.

Scheduling the Task

Use the Scheduling Tasks page to schedule gathering tasks. You can create two types of schedules:

•
Schedules that run once (at a specific time such as December 31 or Now)
•
Schedules that run regularly at a defined period (such as daily, weekly, or monthly).

Enabling Task Logging

Enabling Task Logging

Log entries are created during several processes. If you contact Quest Support for assistance, Support might request that you change your logging detail level to help troubleshoot technical issues.

You can use the Task Logging page to set logging at the task level. For more information about task logging, see Enabling Task Logging .

Specifying Credentials for a Task

Using the Task Credential page, you set the Windows security credentials for the task. By default, this page displays the credentials that you defined for the Task Scheduler Service during installation. Credentials are not verified in this wizard.

In the MessageStats Lotus and IBM Notes report pack, task credentials are used only for running and scheduling the task. The account that is used to access the Domino data is the Notes ID file that you specified as the Lotus and IBM Notes credentials.

Ensure that you enter a valid account and password or the gathering tasks will fail. If you changed the Task Execution Server, this page automatically displays the credentials that you specified for that server.
