Task Scheduling 

Use

In the auctioning via Web shop (AVW) application, administrators can:

·        Start and stop scheduled tasks

·        Monitor the status of scheduled tasks

·        Review the task log

Prerequisites

You have configured the scheduler. For information on where to find the configuration documentation, see Auctioning via Web Shop ® Implementation Considerations ® Configuration.

You have set up the tasks as follows:

       1.      Log on to the AVW application as an administrator at:

http://<servername:port>/avw/init.do

A table with the following three tasks is displayed:

○     CloseAuctionTask

○     WinnerPollTask

○     PublishAuctionTask

       2.      Select all three tasks and choose Start. (The first time you log on, you need to start all three tasks.)

All three tasks are now started and run periodically, based on the time interval you defined in Extended Configuration Management (XCM).
