You can schedule your software builds to run daily, weekly or whenever you
want to run them by using any scheduling program (for instance, Windows Scheduled Tasks) or using Automated Build Studio’s built-in Task Scheduler. The Task Scheduleris similar to Windows Scheduler, but has an extra powerful feature: it lets you schedule build macro runs not only on your computer, but also on other computers connected to your local network.
To manage scheduled macros, go to Automated Build Studio’s Tasks menu and select Windows Scheduler:
The invoked Task Scheduler (see the image below) displays all of the macro runs scheduled on your computer. To create a new scheduled task, click Add and complete the task wizard. A double-click on the task invokes the Windows Tasks editor in which you can modify the task settings.
To view the tasks scheduled on a remote computer, just click Connect To and choose the desired computer:
After you select the computer, the Task Scheduler displays tasks that were created on that computer:
You can also schedule builds on the local or remote computers via Automated Build Studio’s Web Interface:
By scheduling Automated Build Studio macro runs, you can get reliable builds of your projects at any time.
