Hi
I  have a batch file which basically calls the MoveWorkUnitToHistory command with the Move option to Move the Completed workunits to History.

Need advice on how i can set this up as a Job using jobdef so that i can then setup a weekly recurring schedule.

Curently if i go into Jobdef and try to set it up, it is asking for a Productline/Form id and i am not sure if i need to give Logan as product line

Many thanks in advance

Regards
Saurabh


***********Batch file  movewkunit.bat ****************
perl %GENDIR%/bin/batch.pl MoveWorkUnitToHistory move

You first need to set up a token via the Lawson utility tokendef
Select option "C"
Create or select a category (we have all of our batch files/scripts under the SCRIPTS category)
Make up a "Form ID" and add a "Description"
Press F6 (Define) and on the "Command" line put the complete path to your script.

Then you can use jobdef and call the "Form ID" and set up your recurring job.

Since it looks like you're on Windows, how about setting it up as a Windows Service? You would not have to create a new tokendef.

Greg - Thanks for the advice, i have now been able to set it up and run successfully.

Roger - You are right , We are on windows, and i think i will try your suggestions about setting it up as a windows scheduled task. I am guessing i will have to have the enter.cmd as the first step before calling the move script so that the requisite lawson variables get set

Many thanks to both of you for the prompt response
