The System Properties window allows you to define options that effect Scheduler’s main window and operation. You can open this window by selecting System Options in the Scheduler’s Option menu. It also allows you to select editors to be used for viewing and editing batch files and log files.
Field name |
Description |
|---|---|
Display |
Toggles the Frequency column and the Next Scheduled column from off to on and vice versa. If the box is checked, the column will appear in the main window with those details for each event. If not checked, the column is not shown in the main window. |
Schedule |
The only option available is Schedule Resolution.Schedule Resolution is where you define in seconds how often Scheduler looks at the schedule for events ready to launch. For example, if you set this number to 10, every 10 seconds Scheduler will look at the current schedule for events that need to run, and then sits idle until the next 10 seconds have passed. This option allows you to maximize Window’s processing time based on what best fits with your computing needs. Scheduler does not poll events constantly, as that would use all of the workstation’s CPU time. |
File Editor and File Viewer |
Define the editors that you want to use for viewing log files and for editing batch files. By default, Notepad is used for the editor. You can select any editor you have available. Click on the folder icon to bring up path and file selection box to select the editor you wish to use. |
Errors |
This option is not available. |
Load LPD Format |
The user can select either binary or ASCII formats to use when loading the .lpd file. The .lpd file can be saved only in ASCII format. For example, if a user loads a binary format .lpd file, once the file is saved, it will be in ASCII format. There are two options available. The first option is Binary LPD, which will load the binary formatted .lpd file. The second option is ASCII LPD, which will load the ASCII formatted .lpd file. The ASCII LPD choice is the default option. |
Machine |
There are two options available to the user. The first option is PC; checking this option will run the Scheduler as the original application found in the EC Gateway (NT version) software package. The second option, UNIX, will allow the user to create events for use on the UNIX system. The created events will not be executed on the PC. |
