Configuring the DNN Schedule Web Module

The DNN Schedule module allows SuperUsers to schedule tasks to run against the DNN database at scheduled intervals. The Scheduler module optimizes the efficiency of a site by reducing the frequency of common tasks. The Scheduler module cannot be deployed to other site pages.

Personify recommends configuring the time lapse schedule of the DNN Schedule Web Module Event Log to one day. The proceeding steps detail how to do so. While these instructions concentrate on the lapse schedule, you can also find information on how to configure other DNN Schedule settings within these steps.

To configure the DNN Schedule web module:

1.    Make sure you are logged into the website as a Host.

2.    From the tool bar, select Host > Host Settings, as shown below.

Or, from the tool bar, select Host.
The Basic Features page displays.

3.    Select the Host Settings Option, as shown below.

4.    The Host Settings page displays, as shown below.

5.    Select the Other tab.

6.    At Scheduler Mode, select from the following, as shown below.

·            Disabled: Select to disable the scheduler.

·            Timer Method: Select to enable the scheduler and maintain a separate thread to execute scheduled tasks while the worker process is alive.

·            Request Method: Select to enable the scheduler and set scheduled tasks to run when page (HTTP) requests are made.

Setting the Time Lapse to 1 Day is only a recommendation of Personify. You may configure your settings in a way that best suits your association or discuss the best settings with your Account Specialist.
