3. Configure Window Task Scheduler

In order to make the database backup daily and poll the webservice every hour, we need windows to run the DET through Task Scheduler: 
Make sure you create a seperate task for backup(s), polling and or extraction

1. Start Windows Task Scheduler: Under Programs > Accessoires > System Tools
2. Create a new Task (Create Task) in the left pane
3. Set a name for the Task. E.g. DET - Backup or DET - Polling
4. Select the option: Run whether user is logged on or not

Where this option is located differs between Windows versions

1. Under Triggers click the button New...
2. Select the option: Daily and change the start time to e.g. 23:00 (11:00PM)

• • When creating a Polling task select Repeat task evrey: and make sure it's set every 1 hour, for a duration of: Indefinitely

1. The action it needs to do is Start a program

• • Let it start the DET. The usual location is: C:\Program Files\Asamco\Data Extraction Tool\DataExtractionTool.exe
  • Use as argument one of the following per task:
    • For backuping use: Backup All
    • For polling use: Polling
    • For all extraction tasks: Extraction All

1. And make sure it runs with the highest privileges. This is an checkbox option in the General tab
