BASIC CLEANUP TASKS

[Omar Ujageer]

Hi All,

I am working for an organization that has roughly 15 Cloverleaf Sites set-up in prod. They have been performing Basic Cleanup Tasks(Documented previously and sent out to Infor Customers ) per site manually on a periodic basis( every 3-6 months ) . The latter of course is quite time consuming A couple of questions:-

1.) Is there any benefit to performing Basic Cleanup on a set frequency ?

2.) If yes to #1, has anyone automated or is there any type of script available that can be used to execute Basic Cleanup Tasks (PS, Batch Command and etc.) that can be placed in Windows Task Scheduler ?

3.) We are on a Windows 2012 Server with HA Failover. I wanted to know the benefits of performing Cleanup. I discussed with a Cloverleaf Consultant and he could not think of any however my co-worker has been performing Cleanup manually each time there is scheduled downtime and spending quite a bit of time so we are looking to improve our processes and come up with a solution that will be efficient and save time.

Thank you, as always for your help and input/feedback.

Thanks,

Omar

Hi Omar,

I also wanted to setup Windows Tasks to perform daily tasks in Cloverleaf. After exetensive searching, I found the section “crontab in Windows” in the Infor Cloverleaf Integartion Services User Guide.

It appears that you can only run BAT files (PS1 files did not work for me).

The Windows Task Action is Start Program PowerShell with the Arguments “-Command Start-Process -Verb RunAs <path_to_your_batch.bat>”

Here is how a batch file for exporting the Site Documentation would look:

@echo off
call setroot
call hcisitedoc -s site1
call hcisitedoc -s site2

I hope that helps!

Out of curiosity, what do you mean when you say “basic cleanup tasks”. We’re on a Linux environment, so I’m wondering if this is a windows specific thing, or just general ‘clenaup’ meaning reducing databases if necessary, cleaning up old files, etc?
