Creating Scheduled Export Commands
To create a scheduled export command:
1. Accept the definition file listed in the Command field (the file opened in
the Data Export window when you invoked the Scheduler), or specify
another definition file for the scheduled export.
To specify another definition file, click the Definition File button to open
a file selection dialog box, where you can select a definition file. The
Command field displays the path for the definition file you selected.
2. Specify the export frequency (when and how often you want the export
executed).
Select one of the following frequency options (Figure 4-2) from the
Frequency toggle button:
• Once — Lets you specify the date and time for a single export.
• Daily — Lets you specify the time for a daily export.
• Weekly — Lets you specify the day and time for a weekly export.
• Monthly — Lets you specify the date and time for a monthly export.
3. Add and save the scheduled export command entry to the Scheduled
Entries list.
NOTE
When exporting events or statistics data or both on a periodic scheduled
basis, the export range specified in the definition file should correspond to the
selected schedule frequency option (Daily, Weekly, Monthly). See Setting
Historical Data Parameters on Page 3-9 for information on specifying events
and statistics data.
