Scheduler:
Scheduler controls the specified applications or tasks to run at the specified time. The running schedule of tasks may be defined on the Scheduler Builder. Tasks Executable by Scheduler: The scheduler can control the following tasks: Calling up windows Calls up the operation and monitoring windows. Execution of the system function keys Executes the functions assigned to the system function keys. Starting, stopping or restarting of trends Starts, stops or restarts trend data acquisition targeted. Flashing or turning ON/OFF of LED Controls the flashing or turning ON/OFF of LED. Startup of programs by file names Starts up program by specifying the file name. Execution of the multimedia function Plays the specified multimedia message. The tasks assigned to the function keys are also executable by the scheduler.

The tasks to be executed by the scheduler can be defined using command lines in the Scheduler Builder. Each command line can contain up to 48 alphanumeric characters including arguments and space characters. When specifying a program, specify the program name excluding the drive name and path name. Before specifying a program, its path must be set in the PATH of the environmental variable in the HIS. Execution of Tasks Defined on Scheduler: Start Method, Start Month, Start Date, Start Time, Period, Times of Repeat Scheduler may start the scheduled tasks in the following manners: Execute once at the startup of the operation and monitoring functions. Execute once at the specified date every year. Execute once at the specified time on the specified day every month. Execute once at the specified time on the specified day every week. Execute at the specified time every day. As shown below, the start date, starts time, period, number of times that can be defined vary depending on the startup method of the task.

Table Scheduler Definition Method for Each Type of Startup Use the date and time displayed in the system message window as reference when defining the date and time of execution. Start time is specified in minutes, and seconds are always set to 0 (zero). When multiple tasks are specified for execution at the same time, the tasks are executed in the defined order. To define a task to be executed at the end of every month, specify End of Month with Monthly. If 31 is defined with Monthly, the scheduler will not execute the task properly in February, April, June, September and November. If the defined function is to be executed everyday, the execution period and number of times should be defined. However, an error occurs if the product of the execution period and number of times exceeds 24 hours. For example, an error will not occur if a function with period of 1 hour is defined to be Executed 10 times, but an error will occur if the same function is defined to be executed 25 times, because the 1-hour period times the number of times equals 25 hours.

Scheduler can also be used to invoke report package by specifying the following Syntax in the scheduler builder.

F BKHRPT -nREPORT NAME -f or/-p F-Function. BKHRPT -Report folder name. n -Name. f -File p- printer. Scheduler can also be used to call up operation and monitoring windows at the specified time. This time must be specified in the scheduler builder.
