To keep the Upload Scheduler running, the On-line button
on the PAS
toolbar must be checked all the time. If you uncheck it, the scheduler
stops operations. This does not cause loss of data, since the scheduler will
resume operations when you check this button again.
Suspending the Scheduler
To suspend the Upload Scheduler, check the
Suspend Scheduler
box at
right. To activate the Upload Scheduler, leave this box unchecked.
Running the Scheduler on Demand
You can run the scheduler at any time outside the schedule by checking
the
Start Now
box at right. This is a one-time action. After uploading is
completed, the Upload Scheduler un-checks this box automatically.
Reviewing Upload Problems
When the Upload Scheduler fails to retrieve data from the device, or some
data is missing, or another problem occurs, it puts an error message to
the log file. To review this file, select
System Log
from the
View
menu.
