Engine Scheduled hcicmd Tasks question

Hi All,

We are running Platform 5.2.1 on a windows platform. Presently we have a few jobs that run as windows tasks in task scheduler.

Some of the tasks include the following:

Cycle smat

Copy Old Logfiles to Archive directories

Process Clear ( e.g hcismiutil e.t.c)

I have been asked by Operations division, if it is possible to move these tasks inside the engine rather than depending on windows task scheduler, because the once when we have failed over the box e.t.c, we have noticed that the task scheduler has hung for some reason and the jobs have not run.

I have asked Quovadx support and they helped me out and said that i could set up a thread and use advanced scheduling , (so I know I should be able to do it).

My question is has anyone else done this ?

Is it more reliable?

Or does everyone else just use the task scheduler to do these jobs? or in unix case of course use CRON.

Task Scheduler runs fine at the moment but failed once only so maybe i should leave the tasks the way they are, but just looking for feedback.

Any feedback would be great ,

Thanks in advance for your help
