Running the Entity Move/Rename utility as a scheduled task

You can set up a scheduled task to run the IBM OpenPages® Entity Move/Rename utility.

Depending on your environment, you can run the batch-entity-move-rename batch command file by using any scheduling application. For example, in Windows, you might use the built-in Windows scheduler. In Linux®, you might set up a cron job.

Important: If you are using a Db2® database in a Windows environment, you must run the batch command file within the Db2 Command Line Processor.

If the job fails, the batch command returns a non-zero exit code. You can redirect the console output to a log file. For example, in Windows:

batch-entity-move-rename.cmd >> batch-entity-move-rename.log
The following files are overwritten on each run:
  • batch-entity-move-rename-load.log
  • batch-entity-move-rename-proc.log
These files can be saved, either manually or through a script, if log archives are needed.
