Manually Testing a Scheduled Task

Manually run a particular scheduled task to test whether it works correctly.

Implementation:

  1. Click to open the Schedule Manager dialog.
  2. Select the intended schedule.
  3. Click the Run Schedule button. When the task is complete, a new dialog will display a report of the task's activity. If any problems occurred while running the task, you can use the trace to see where and when that was.

Manually running a task will have the same effect as having it run automatically by the scheduler. It will also reset the task's interval, causing the scheduler to wait a full interval before running the action again.

  1. (Optional) Check to see if any problems occurred during the task.
  2. Click Close when you have finished with the dialog.
