Scheduled Tasks

We run scheduled tasks to make sure certain things happen regularly. For example:

• PHI copy automation- moved to Scanner Computer March 12, 2015 from Trish's desktop.
• Backup Checker.vbs - Moved to Main Office Scanner computer: February 20, 2015 from Pagasa's desktop.

wiki housekeeping Do we still schedule Backup Checker? No, I remembered it was run through my desk top computer, not now anymore. PTorres 14:08, 2022 March 17 (CDT) no longer doing either of these as scheduled tasks, Tina needs to clean up the documentation. PTorres 15:05, 2022 March 17 (CDT)

Vacation process

If you run a scheduled task on your computer while you are on vacation, the task may lock up the target application if something goes wrong. So, it's a good idea to hand the task over to someone else before you go. Book in your calendar to re-set to regular for upon return.
