To schedule content authoring workflow updates
Caution! You must perform this task to enable content authoring workflow to function properly.
Some workflow-related actions are initiated directly by users, such as approving a publishing request in your Content Designer Task List. However, the workflow actions related to managing expired content, such as sending expiration notices or removing content that has expired are managed by a program called ContentWorkflow.exe, which must be manually added to the Windows Task Scheduler on your production iMIS application server.
The Task Scheduler is slightly different on each version of Windows, so adapt the following steps as needed:
1. Create a Basic task in the Task Scheduler Library folder.
□ Create a daily Trigger for the task, so that expired content is checked for once per day.
□ For the Action, select to Start a Program and specify ContentWorkflow.exe, which is located by default in C:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS\Net\bin\. Do not specify any optional arguments or a start-in folder.
2. Find the new task that you created in the Task Scheduler Library folder and modify the following properties:
□ On the General tab, select the option that enables the task to be run regardless of whether you are logged on or not.
□ On the Settings tab:
■ Select the option that enables the task to be run as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed, and also:
■ Select the option that stops the task if it runs longer than a certain duration and specify a value, such as 2 hours.
Troubleshooting
■ You must have administrative access to the Windows Task Scheduler and the entire file system on your iMIS application server.
■ Your user account on the iMIS application server must have Log on as batch job rights.
