I have 5 files that I would like to schedule to run monthly in windows 7 task scheduler. Problem is I want them to run in succession of one another.
Example:
File1 (this runs first)
File2 (this runs after file 1 is done running)
File3 (this runs after file 2 is done running)
and so on...
How do I go about this? Thanks!
From Windows Help (applies to Vista or later):
A task action is the work that is performed when the task is run. A task can have a single action or a maximum of 32 actions. Each action contains settings that determine how the action is performed. A task's actions are displayed on the Actions tab of the Task Properties or Create Task dialog box. When multiple actions are specified, they are executed in sequential order starting with the action at the top of the list in the Actions tab and ending with the action at the bottom of the list. You can change the order in which the actions are executed by selecting an action and clicking on the up or down arrow button to move the action in the list.
Create a batch file containing all of your commands one after the other and then schedule the batch file to run.

In Windows task scheduler I have a task. For example: Test
Under that, I have 3 actions.
Problem is all 3 actions execute at the same time.
I have a requirement that each actions starts only after the previous one ends.
Is there way we can set these conditions?
I have made a flow that would trigger when a file is created in a folder (lets call it event folder). Based on that the flow would create another file in a different folder and send me a message that a new file has been created.
Now the event folder could have 1 or multiple files generated at once. My flow would trigger for each file created and spam me for all the files at once. I want only to have one message for any number of files created within the span of 5 minutes. Is there a way to do that?
Here is my flow
Looks like you'll need to store a 'new files created' status in some variable (possible hints at https://learn.microsoft.com/power-automate/create-variable-store-values ).
Then create some other flow, scheduled to run every 5 minutes (https://learn.microsoft.com/power-automate/run-scheduled-tasks) to check the status, optionally send a message and clear the status to some 'nothing to do'.
Using When a file is created (properties only) block with Split On setting turned off and Concurrency Control turned on & Degree of parallelism set to 1 does the trick
See attached image below
I have a requirement where 3 different file will be loaded to a single table with 3 different PIPE. I want target my target process to be triggered only once all 3 file has been loaded to my stage.
I don't want to run my target process multiple times.
So is there any way we can have start condition of task on PIPE sucess.
I went to documentation but didn't find any such info or is there way of implementing it which I might be missing.
The general way to implement this pattern is with streams. Your pipes would load to three separate tables, each with a stream on it. You can then have a task that runs on a schedule, with the WHEN parameter set with SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA, three times. This ensures that your TASK only runs when all three pipes have completed successfully. Example:
CREATE TASK mytask1
WAREHOUSE = mywh
SCHEDULE = '5 minute'
WHEN
SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA('MYSTREAM') AND SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA('MYSTREAM2')
AND SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA('MYSTREAM3')
AS
<Do stuff.>;
You have a couple options here. You can:
use the data in the streams to do whatever you want to in the task, or
you can use the data in the streams to fill the single table that the three pipes were originally filling.
If you choose option 1, you might then also want to create a view that replaces your original single table.
If you choose option 2, you can set up a task that runs using the AFTER clause to do whatever it is that you want to do.
I need to schedule a Task inside of my Windows server 2016 to run every minute, how would one accomplish that?
I've tried Task Scheduler->Create Task, but the minimum is every 5 minutes,
Is it to possible to schedule task (run exe) every minute ?
any ideas? thanks!
You can set 1 minute frequency through task scheduler itself. The option does not appear in the dropdown list, but you can edit the text and it will accept a variety of values from 1 minute upwards.
All,
I need to schedule a task (batch script) to run once per minute, every day.
Looking at the Task Scheduler, I see the minimum repeat interval for a task is 5 minute, which is located in the "Trigger" window dropdown.
How do you do this in the Task Scheduler?
Thanks Much
The dropdown box is editable so just change the value to "1 minute"
