. . . Scheduling an Xchange Agent to run automatically

LapLink does not have to be running on the guest for an agent to run as scheduled. When the scheduled time comes, LapLink starts, the connection is opened, files are synchronized, the connection is closed, and LapLink shuts down.

LapLink prepares an Xchange Agent to run on schedule by setting it up in the LapLink scheduler program.

TIP To change how an Xchange agent is scheduled, access it throught the LapLink scheduler icon, which appears at the right end of the Windows taskbar.

To run a scheduled agent:

•Leave your Windows operating system and your scheduler running.

NOTE You can also use the Windows Task Scheduler included in Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, and 2003. For more information, consult your Windows documentation.

To schedule an Xchange Agent Using the LapLink Scheduler:

1From within LapLink or Xchange Agent, open the agent.

2On the File menu, click Schedule. The Schedule wizard begins.

3Give a name to the schedule file.

4Fill out the schedule by specifying the time and frequency.

TIP To create another schedule for the same agent, repeat the above procedure and assign a different name to the schedule file.

Running an agent unattended

A scheduled agent runs without preview, even if you have specified preview on the Run Options tab of Properties.

When conflicts are encountered, they are ignored; neither file is copied. If you prefer to have the newer file in each conflict copied over the older one, click Properties on the File menu. On the Run Options tab, click this option: Run Unattended, without Preview or Confirmations. Then click this option: Copy the Newer File over the Older.1

TIP To ensure that an agent runs and synchronizes as scheduled, the agent should originally be created while connected to the host via an Address Book entry. This stores the log-in name and password required by the remote computer to open the connection.

1For more information about resolving conflicts, see page 126.
