Campaigns Cron Job

When you create a campaign, it is designed to be run at a specified time in the future. A cron job is used to ensure that the campaign is run: it is called the campaigns cron job. Because the campaigns cron job is to be run as an application cron job, make sure that you enable application cron jobs and specify the message URL for cron jobs. See Job Scheduling Administration for more information on cron jobs.

Attention:

Make sure that you have set the ServerName property of the Comergent.xml configuration file to the externally visible name of the Comergent eBusiness System machine.

If the campaigns cron job is not already created, then follow these steps:

1. Log in as an enterprise administrator.
2. Navigate to the cron job list page by clicking Job Scheduler in the System Administration panel on the Comergent eBusiness System home page.
3. Click Create New Job.
4. On the Create New Cron Job page, enter the following information:
   • Job Name: Campaigns Execution
   • Program: com.comergent.apps.mktMgr.campaigns.bizAPI.CampaignsCron
   • Command Line Arguments: RequestTimeout=-1
   • Select Application cron job. Enter your username and password.
   • Cron Job Schedule: Enter appropriate start and end dates for the cron job. We suggest setting a frequency of one minute, but you can choose another lower frequency if you prefer.
5. Click Save All Changes.
