Best approach to holding 'Task Schedule' data |
Tue, Nov 5 2013 11:27 PM | Permanent Link |
Adam H. | Hi,
I'm currently developing a 'Reporting Service' for one of my databases which I plan to make work similar to the Windows Task Scheduler where a user can set the schedule / interval on how often each Report should be ran. What I'm having difficulty deciding is how exactly I should store this information. For example, the options that I need to be able to store are such of: 1st Day of every month at 12:00am 1st Wednesday of every month at 12:00am Every Day at 12:00am Every Wednesday at 12:00am Every Tuesday and Thursday at 12:00am etc, etc, etc... I have no idea how Windows Task Schedule actually stores this data - whether there's one field that it parses the information from, or multiple fields, etc. I was just wondering if anyone has ever done something similar to this before and if there's a best practice, or good approach as how to best handle something like this? The other work around I guess is just to make the program in a way that can be 'called' from windows task schedule with a whole lot of parameters to say which report to run, criteria, etc and just let windows do all the leg work when it comes to scheduling and have a lot of entries in Windows, although I do like the idea of having this all 'in house' so to speak. Cheers Adam. |

The first thing I often do with stuff like this is to look on Torry - there are 13 shareware / commercial components. Roy Lambert |

Adam H. | Thanks Roy,
I was actually thinking of not using the Windows Task Scheduler (Having my own built into the application / service I'm writing), but it looks like it's just going to be a lot easier to use what's already there in Windows. Cheers Adam. |
