Scheduling a ColdFusion Page  
 
 

The ColdFusion Administrator allows you to schedule the execution of application pages. To access the scheduling facility, open the Administrator and click the Scheduler button.

The scheduling facility has two parts:

  • Scheduler Settings page -- Where you specify how often ColdFusion checks for newly scheduled tasks.
  • The Scheduled Tasks page -- Where you define new tasks or change existing scheduled tasks.

There are three areas you define in scheduling an event:

  1. The start/end date and interval.
  2. The URL of the file you want to execute.
  3. Publishing information if you want to save output to a file. This is the mechanism you use for creating static HTML pages by processing a ColdFusion page.
 
 
  Note  
 

In the Operation list box on the Scheduled Tasks page, HTTPRequest is currently the only operation supported. Later releases of ColdFusion may add additional operations to this list box.
