4.22 Configure Task Scheduler
This step creates processes that must run automatically at various intervals for the proper
function of the Portable Shopping System. If these tasks are not configured correctly,
certain features of the system, such as timed messaging, will not work, and the system
will eventually cease functioning.
- Double-click "My Computer" on the Windows Desktop. Once the "My Computer"
window appears, locate and double-click "Scheduled Tasks".
- There should be several tasks listed in the window ("Add Scheduled Task" is not a
task, but will allow you to add tasks to the scheduler, if desired).
- For each task:
- Double-click the task, and the task dialog should appear. Make sure the Task tab
is selected.
- In the "Run:" and "Start in:" fields, scroll across and make sure that all of the path
names that appear point to the correct PSS installation directory (C:\Pss).
- In the "Run as:" field, enter the local Administrator account (e.g.
MyMachineName\Administrator). Click the Set Password button, enter the
Administrator password in each of the two fields, and press OK.
- Press OK on the task dialog.
- To verify that the scheduled task can run correctly, right-click on the task, and
select Run. Scroll to the right in the Scheduled Tasks window, and make sure that
under the Last Run Time column, the current time appears, and that under the
Status column, no error messages appear. The task can then run successfully as
scheduled.
- Once the procedure above has been run on all scheduled tasks, close the window.
