7. OpenLane Maintenance

Using AT under Windows to Automate Reports

Procedure

1.Using a text editor, create a batch script in the c:\opt\pdn\OpenLane directory that contains the commands you would ordinarily use to generate reports. For example, to create reports for all customers, add the following commands:

c:

cd \opt\pdn\OpenLane

.OLCmd processreports

2.Save the script. In this example, the script is called Myreports.bat.

3.Open an MS-DOS prompt window. Type the at command required to schedule your batch script. The at command has the following fields:

—\\computername – A remote host on which the command will be executed (optional).

—ID – An identification number for the scheduled command (optional).

—/delete – Cancels a scheduled command. If id is omitted, all the scheduled commands on the computer are canceled.

—/yes – Used with cancel all jobs command when no further confirmation is desired.

—time – Specifies the time when command is to run.

—/interactive – Allows the job to interact with the desktop of the user who is logged on at the time the job runs.

—/every:date[,...] – Runs the command on each specified day(s) of the week or month. If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed.

—/next:date[,...] – Runs the specified command on the next occurrence of the day (for example, next Thursday). If date is omitted, the current day of the month is assumed.

—Command – Is the Windows NT command, or batch program to be run.

For example, to execute MyReports.sh every weekday at midnight and noon on the same computer as the AT command is executed, the correct commands are:

at 00:00 /every:Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday c:\opt\pdn\OpenLane\Myreports.bat

at 12:00 /every:Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday c:\opt\pdn\OpenLane\Myreports.bat
