Scheduling jobs

Secure Copy includes the ability to schedule copy jobs to occur when they are convenient to personnel, without interfering with business practices. The best time for data migration is during hours of non-operation or non-peak usage. Quite often this is not feasible for the average 9 to 5 administrator. Secure Copy uses the features of the Microsoft Task Scheduler service to handle all functions of job scheduling.

To schedule a copy job
1
Select a job in the Jobs list, and click Schedule.
-OR-
Choose File | Schedule, or click Schedule this job on the Job Summary page.
2
Open the Triggers tab, and click New.
3
Define the conditions that will trigger the task.
The task is enabled by default. You can set a time schedule, delay the start of the task, repeat the task, and stop the task if it is running for too long. You also can set the task to expire.
4
Click OK.
5
Open the Actions tab, and click New.
6
Define the action that will occur when the task starts. You can start a program, send an email, or display a message.
7
Click Browse, and locate the program or script to run.
8
Click OK.
9
Open the Conditions tab.
10
Define the conditions under which the task will run.
By default, the task will not run if the computer is on battery power. You can set the task to wait until the computer is idle for a period of time and if a network connection is available.
11
Open the Settings tab.
By default, the task runs on demand and stops if the task runs longer than 3 days. You can set additional criteria for running the task.
12
When you are finished setting up the scheduled task, click OK.
The task appears on the General tab. Once a job has run, it appears on the History tab.

Managing scheduled jobs

The Task Scheduler service is included with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 and later with the Offline Browsing Pack installed.
