Hi Everyone,

Could you please help me in scheduling TOS job via window 10 scheduler.

I got a job which is connected to a child job. I'm not sure if i only need to build job for parent or child together.

My parent job pick the data and iterate and pass data to child job and child job process that data.

Please advise what is best approach.

Design of my job is below for reference:

Hello

Export the job script of parent job, make sure the 'export dependencies' box is checked during your export. Google how to schedule a task using windows 10 scheduler on internet, like:

Thanks Shong, I selected the parent job and clicked on 'export item' and checked 'Export dependencies' and selected root directory and clicked finish.

Now i can see folder which i created but which file i need to select in Win scheduler.

One more question what is the purpose of 'Build Job' option. On internet it says use this, which option is best. Thanks

You should use 'Build Job' option to export the executable file of job, the 'Export item' option is used to export the job item files.

Hi Shong,

When i right click on parent job and click Build job there is no option to click 'Export dependencies' which you mentioned above.

Please advice which option i need to click so that my parent and linked child job able to run via Win scheduler. Thanks

it is my fault, the ‘Export dependencies' option only appears when exporting items. Ignore it.

Thanks Shong, just for my understanding, so i simply click on parent job and then build job then it will automatically take the child job.

yes, after you build the job script, you can run the job by executing the executable file (jobName_run.bat on Windows or jobName_run.sh on Linux).
