Through this process, you'll be able to use our Engineerica Data Exchange (EDX) tool to schedule or automate imports using a batch file and Windows Task Scheduler. To get started follow these steps:
Download and Install EDX
You must install this application on a Windows-based PC or Server.
- From the Main Sidebar, hover over Advanced Options.
- Click on Imports.
- There are two ways to access the exchange tool.
- Click View Documentation, then Download Data Exchange Tool.
- Choose an import (under 3.) and then click Schedule this Import.
- Click View Documentation, then Download Data Exchange Tool.
- A pop-up box will appear. Click Download our import tool.
- Open the downloaded file.
- Click Install.
If you get a warning message about an Unknown Publisher simply click More info and then Run Anyway.
Create the batch file using EDX
You will need to have the import CSV file ready including all the required headings and in the same file location it will be updated regularly. This means if I have another Student Information System (Datatel, Banner, etc.) extracting a CSV file on a schedule to a network shared drive or on your Windows Server/PC then you will be ready to perform this step.
- The ADX application opens once it installs but if you are starting at this step simply search from your Windows Start Menu for “Engineerica Data Exchange.exe”
- Choose AccuCampus from the drop-down menu and click Next.
- Enter the domain and your credentials. Click Next.
- Choose the Import Type, File Path, and add any Parameters. Click Next.
- Click the ellipsis (3 dots) button to choose a file path for the batch file.
- Click Finish.
Schedule the Batch File to Run
- To create a scheduled task for the batch file, click Yes.
- Enter a name for the task. Click OK.
- Adjust the properties of the scheduled task:
General Tab - On this tab, you can set the Security Options needed to run whether logged in and with the highest privileges.
Triggers Tab - Use this tab to set the schedule to run hourly, daily, weekly, etc.
Actions Tab - This should be set up to start the .Bat file from the computer.
Conditions Tab - Typically nothing but the defaults used as shown below.
Settings Tab - Use this tab to configure any additional options.
Run Times & History Tab - These tabs simply show the success or failures of the scheduled task. - Click OK. The import will run at the selected time.
- Once the scheduled import has run, you can check Imports History in the AccuCampus imports screen to see if it was successful.
You are also able to set up a rule that notifies you if an import fails in the AccuCampus website under Advanced Options > Settings > Rules. Click here to learn more about rules setup.
