Giving the Scheduler Write Access for Publishing

This topic relates to the Scheduler service.

By default, services run under system user account and do not have enough privilege to access secured remote locations. You may want to change the Scheduler service account to have it to use the credential that allows accessing server locations.

You can use the Scheduler to schedule when to generate and publish reports by the Windows Client in the View and Output Definition dialog. You need to set up a user ID and a password in the Scheduler to ensure that it has write authority to the server.

To set up a user ID and password in the Scheduler service

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.

   The Control Panel is displayed.

2. Double-click Administrative Tools.

   Administrative Tools is displayed.

3. Double-click Services.

   The Services dialog is displayed.

4. Double click the CA SRM and CA Vantage Scheduler service.

   The CA SRM and CA Vantage Scheduler Properties dialog is displayed.

5. Click the Log On tab.
6. Click the This account: option so it is selected.
7. Enter a user ID and password with the appropriate write authority.
8. Click OK.

Note: If the password to the server is changed (for example, due to your company’s password or security policy), then you must also change it here in the Scheduler service.

For scheduled activities to obtain information from a host, you need a valid host user ID and password defined in the Host Definition dialog in addition to a valid user ID and password defined in the Scheduler service.
