Exit points

The following two scripts are provided as custom exit points:

• HourlyTask.dss is called every hour.
• DailyTask.dss is called every day at midnight local time.

If all ITP/Document Processors are busy processing jobs it can take some time before a ITP/Document Processor is available to run the scheduled jobs. If the delay exceeds an hour, multiple hourly jobs can be run in quick succession.

For administrative purposes every exit point script receives the numerical parameter ScheduledTime. This parameter contains the local time (in HHMMSS format) at which the job was scheduled for execution and it can be used as an alternative when the current local time is inappropriate. The order in which the HourlyTask.dss and DailyTask.dss scripts are called is unspecified but they are guaranteed not to be run at the same time on different ITP/Document Processors. The sample HourlyTask.dss script provided with ITP/Server will call the ExpireSessions command to remove any sessions that have been idle for more than four hours.
