The PowerOLAP® Scheduler consists of two components: jobs and tasks. A job is a list of tasks. A task defines a specific action that should be performed in order. This order should be arranged based on the need for one task to complete before the other task begins.
Through PowerOLAP® Scheduler, we can define or create these Jobs and Tasks which allow us to schedule a certain process or event, whether internal PowerOLAP® processes or relative to PowerOLAP database loading, to automatically take place at a recurring period. Jobs and tasks are stored in an XML format to allow users to easily edit and replicate them.
Jobs and Tasks that are defined in the PowerOLAP® Scheduler, as previously mentioned, are stored in an XML file (PowerOLAP Jobs.xml), which is located in the PowerOLAP® Client directory. By default the PowerOLAP® Client directory is located in ”C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerOLAP”.
Notes
The PowerOLAP® Client directory may be in a different location that was
selected during the PowerOLAP® Scheduler/Client installation
process.
When upgrading or uninstalling the PowerOLAP® Clients, the ”PowerOLAP Jobs.xml” file should remain in this directory and should not be affected by the upgrade/un-installation process. However, It is possible and recommended to create a backup of the ”PowerOLAP Jobs.xml” file by creating a copy of the file or creating a zip file containing the xml file and storing the copy file in a backup location.
