i have be crawling articles around about the fantastic scheduled task comes with Umbraco. i have finally had the chance to test it out, but unfortunately it doesnt work as expected. say, i have the following entry in <scheduledTasks> element,
I haven't used the scheduled tasks in Umbraco for years because trying to run a timer event in a web app is prone to errors (app pool going to sleep, etc).
Have you checked the umbracoLog table to see if there are any errors, but unfortunately Umbraco actually swallows a lot of potential errors that can happen with the scheduled task system.
Can't you run your task through a Windows Service, it's a lot more reliable in my opinion.
scheduled task in UmbracoSettings.config
good day folks,
i have be crawling articles around about the fantastic scheduled task comes with Umbraco. i have finally had the chance to test it out, but unfortunately it doesnt work as expected. say, i have the following entry in <scheduledTasks> element,
<task log="true" alias="XXX" interval="20" url="http://mydomain.com/umbraco/XXX.aspx" />
i even restarted the application pool and the website, but still not looking good.
any step i missed?
