We have in our application a reporting tool that lets us schedule reports to be emailed to users. We currently setup a scheduled task on the users pc pointing to a specific URL. (e.g. "c:\tool.exe" "https://www.oursite.net/rs.aspx") And it is set to run at a specific time each day. The tools exe is in the root of our website. Is there a way to use one of our sites scheduled tasks to reproduce this? I tried selecting the url and entering what you see above, but it would not accept it. Thank you for your help, </o>
Hi, You can't use the Executable on your DASP server but you can create aScheduled Taskin your Control Panel. http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10426 Salute, Mark Technical Evangelist for DiscountASP.NET http://www.iis7test.com/webcasts/ http://weblogs.asp.net/markwisecarver/ http://blogs.windowsclient.net/wisecarver/default.aspx (Microsoft IT Usability http://msitusability.multiply.com/)
Mark, I need help in how to setup the scheduled task as it is in my example. So far what I have tried does not allow me to do it. I tried setting it up like, I selected the url from the drop down and added in the textbox to theright. /Schedular.exe https://www.mysite.net/rs.aspx Can you help wiith that? Thank you,
Hi, You can use it to hit a page but not an Executable. Allowing a file to execute would be crazy on Shared servers.
