How to trigger Server backup event from Admin module? |
Thu, Feb 9 2006 6:55 PM | Permanent Link |
Kerry Neighbour | I have a V4.22 DBISAM server and admin module. I would like to trigger the
server backup event from the Admin program. How can I do that? Kerry Neighbour mailto:kneighbour@securedoc.com.au |

You can find out information on how to do this here: http://www.elevatesoft.com/dbisam4d5_customizing_engine.htm After you have coded the scheduled event handler in the database server, you can then schedule it using the Server Administration Utility. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Kerry Neighbour | I have no problem scheduling the events. The problem is TRIGGERING those
events manually. I have a backup event on the server that runs everyday (ie the standard event that the demo server comes with), but it does not seem to do anything. ie, there is an entry in the log that says it runs, but there are no backup files. I want to debug the problem, but do not seem to be able to trigger this backup event from the Admin module. Can I trigger it manually - ie have a button that says "Run event now".

No, there isn't such a button, but you can simply change the scheduling for it so that it runs within the next 10 minutes and that will do the trick. Once you're done debugging, you can set it back. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Kerry Neighbour | Well, that is ok as far as it goes, but it is a hard way to debug things.
Takes too long. And of course it is a good feature to add in any case. So....back to the original question - is there a way to trigger a scheduled event from the Admin module? Do I have to write a server procedure that calls the event - then I call that server procedure from the Admin module? > Ahh, now I understand.

You can keep the SrvAdmin utility up the entire time, and simply change it back and forth as needed. I've done it many times. << So....back to the original question - is there a way to trigger a scheduled event from the Admin module? >> I just answered that question. You need to change the start time of the scheduled event to Now+30 seconds, etc. and then save it. That will cause the scheduled event to be triggered. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I replied: "No, there isn't such a button, but you can simply change the scheduling for it so that it runs within the next 10 minutes and that will do the trick. Once you're done debugging, you can set it back" 10 minutes was simply thrown out as an example - you can set it to any time that you wish, 10 seconds from now, 1 minute from now, 30 minutes from now, etc. from now. I apologize if this wasn't clear. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Rather then try to call the scheduled event manually,which you can't do, why not just modify the Admin Module adding a button that would call a remote procedure directly that will do that backup? |
