Scheduled task to export all objects out of Ebase

[neilnewman]

I am trying to setup a scheduled task to auto export everything from my Ebase installation, but keep hitting a permission error.
Has anyone else seen this type of issue and found a way around it, I have set the Export directory in the task to be the same as the value in my UFSSetup.properties file for the Ufs.export.location variable.

The program being called within the scheduled task is: com.ebasetech.ufs.migration.ExportTask

Log from when the scheduled task job is run:

Which version of Ebase are you using? This sounds very like a problem that was fixed in V4.3.4.

[neilnewman]

We are running with version 4.5.1 Build 20131115

A scheduled task may be run in one of 2 ways:
1. At a pre-defined date/time, possibly recurring. In this mode, there is no user involved.
2. By the ebasetrigger command. In this mode, userid/password can be provided.

The scheduled task export only works when it is triggered and therefore has a userid.
The userid must have access to all elements, for example by having the SUPER_USER role assigned to it.

"Ebase Scheduler" part of the online documentation covers this in detail.

If your task is being executed as a date/time scheduled job. please start it using the trigger instead.

thanks for the help, it was not how I imagined it to work:
A scheduled task within Ebase being called from a Windows scheduled task, however it all appears to work.
Thanks again
