Scheduling Remote CMS Import Jobs

If required, you can schedule remote CMS import jobs using the Windows Scheduled Tasks wizard. This allows you to schedule import jobs to run at regular intervals during periods of low CMS activity.

  1. In the import configuration file, ensure that SQL.RunViaScheduledTask parameter is set to Yes.

    This parameter enables the import job to resume (during the next scheduled time slot) from the point at which it was stopped. But see also the Important for SQL.RunViaScheduledTask in RCI Job Setup parameters.

  2. Open Scheduled Tasks in the Systems Tools folder.
  3. When the wizard prompts you for the program you want to run, browse to the \Import subfolder in the CA DataMinder installation folder and choose WgnImp.exe.
  4. Specify a scanning schedule as required.
  5. When the wizard prompts you for a Windows user account, you must specify an account that is a member of the local Administrators group. This ensures that Event Import can access the registry and that it can write progress messages to logfiles.

    Note: Credentials for accessing the remote CMS are defined by the primary CMS import parameters.

  6. In the final wizard screen, you must edit the advanced properties for the scheduled task. Specifically, you must edit the Run field.

    The Event Import executable, WgnImp.exe, is already included in the Run command, having been specified in step 3. You must now append the import configuration file and a named instance to this command. Note that the Run command uses the same syntax as command line scanning jobs: 

    Wgnimp -f <file> -i <instance>

    where:

    -f <file>

    Specifies the name of the file containing import parameters.

    -i <instance>

    Specifies the name of an import instance. You must specify an instance even if you are only running one instance of Event Import.
