Scheduled task in MFGPRO GUI

[jchellap]

Hi All,

I need to add a scheduled task in GUI which executes the reporting program and has to put the generated file in another server which has user name and password.

Can anyone of you give me idea regarding this please?

What is the OS your QAD server? What version of QAD?

For our Linux server we run several reports to Samba shares that are mapped to Windows servers and then a utility convert the files to PDF and moves it to our file server. Samba connections contain the windows server username/password.

Here are the steps we use:
Cron job -> QAD Batch program -> Output to file (some_file.prn) -> cron job to find the file(s) and move it the samba share -> windows app detects the file and then executes a script

I'm sure there are better ways, but it works for us.
