Overview
Large posting runs can take a lot of time and use a lot of system resources, which can effect other areas of the system.
For this reason Weighsoft has the ability to schedule a posting run in the background at a time of your choosing in the background (outside of office hours for example).
Note: this feature is only available from version 5.536 onwards
Settings
In order for this functionality to work you must enable the below setting:
Go to Administration>System Settings>App Services
Click Locate the setting labelled "Offload Long Running Processes To a Queue"
Enable the setting
Click Save
Note: If you are running 5.536 or 5.537 you will need to contact support for the background service to be restarted in order for the function to go live.
If you are running 5.538 or higher then this setting is enabled and active by default.
Process
Once the above is enabled you can schedule a posting run by going to the posting screen and using the "Schedule Posting" option.
Set a date and time for the run to be carried out and click "Schedule Posting"
The posting run will appear on the posting screen with a schedule time on the right-hand side.
Once the run has been scheduled you can see all the details (including it's progress) in Administration>Lookups>Processing Long Running Tasks
Note: As of version 5.538 the progress of schedule posting runs will also appear on the main Posting screen
