Managing the scheduler database

If you have set up the scheduler database, there are a number of administrative tasks that you will need to carry out to manage your installation. These tasks should be carried out within the iBase Scheduler dialog.

The Scheduler database is a Microsoft Access database, which stores the:

  • Scheduler service configuration

  • Details of connections, tasks, and triggers

  • Details of batch imports/exports that are scheduled, completed, or inactive (canceled)

Do not open or edit the Scheduler database in Microsoft Access. You should configure the database using the iBase Scheduler Configuration dialog, and view the log files using the View Log button. The Scheduler database is password protected to prevent accidental changes to the data that might be incompatible with iBase Scheduler.

You should back up the Scheduler database in the same way that you back up your other iBase databases.
