GOAL:
How to configure Windows 2K scheduler to run the 4GL Batch Engine for Progress 9.x when there are multiple versions installed.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows Server 2000
Windows Professional 2000
FIX:
In Version 9 for Progress the MS Scheduler only shows the first version of the 4GL Batch Engine installed and a Version number is not listed. Additional Version 9 4GL Batch Engines must be selected manually.
The 4GL Batch Engine is just a prowin32.exe with a -b start up parameter.
To add or configure an additional Version 9 4GL Batch Engine for Progress in MS Scheduler do the following:
1. From the Scheduled Tasks Window select "Add Scheduled Task"
2. Click the Next/Browse buttons and select prowin32.exe from the Progress DLC\bin directory.
2. Select the newly created task from the Scheduled Tasks Window and select "properties". Add the -b to the end of the scheduler RUN line along with -p parameter and the batch job to be run.
example:
RUN: C:\91d\dlc\bin\prowin32.exe -b -p <some_file.p>
