Run Automated Reports with a Scheduling Tool

This section describes the benefits of the scheduling tool and the steps to take in order to schedule the automated reports.

Note: You need to schedule the reports to be run after or before the nightly backup of the Cisco MeetingPlace server.

Benefits

There are many benefits to the use of a scheduling tool to run MeetingTime reports. The benefits include:

• You can run reports after hours. The after-hours run allows you to use resources on both the MeetingPlace system and your PC for other processes during the regular business day.

• You can schedule reports to run on a recurring basis for disaster recovery.

• You can schedule multiple reports to run as different tasks.

• You can use the scheduling tool to schedule other applications.

Procedure

Complete these steps:

1. On the desktop, choose My Computer > Control Panel > Scheduled Tasks > Add Scheduled Tasks.

2. Follow the directions in the wizard, and indicate MeetingTime as the new item to add.

3. At the last step, check the open advanced properties for this task check box and click Finish.

   The advanced properties dialog box appears. Edit the Run: field in order to add the correct parameters to the command line for MeetingTime.
