Configuring Custom Scheduler

Owned by Enterprise IT
Last updated: Nov 27, 2024

Using the Custom Scheduler you can enable or disable a specific job, which is defined to perform certain tasks. You can enable monitoring and execution of tasks without any human intervention at the scheduled date and time. For configuring Custom Scheduler, you need to add or modify the jobs.


Scheduled Job Limitation

When trying to execute jobs such as “Push Report Job, User import Job, etc." the jobs fail occasionally. This is because of permission issue associated with the user executing the job. This limitation is applicable for all modules.

 Workaround 1

When the jobs fail to execute using the SummitScheduler job using the Local System account an alternative workaround is to run the SummitScheduler job using the “service account”. Upon running the SummitScheduler job using the “service account” the failed jobs will be executed successfully.

To run the SummitScheduler using the service account, perform the following steps:

  1. Press Windows key + R.
    Run window is displayed.

    Figure: Run

  2. In the run window enter services.msc and press OK.

  3. Select SummitScheduler then right click and select Properties.

    Figure: Services

  4. Select Log On tab and then select This Account.

  5. Click Browse and select service account then provide password.

  6. Click OK and re-start SummitScheduler job.
 Workaround 2

To run the job, you must run the corresponding .exe from Task Scheduler.

Example:

To schedule the Izenda scheduler job, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Task Scheduler > Create Task > Mention Task Name in the General Tab.
