Running Task Scheduler from DOS

Sometimes Scheduler does not run the tasks properly (older versions of OIM). So, here is a way to run the task scheduler from dos prompt:


===========================
Running
===========================
This tool runs on the Xellerate Server. The Xellerate Server directory, for example C:\oracle\xellerate, is denoted by ${xl.home} below.
First create a directory "RunSchedulerTask" and then copy these files (source code below)

"RunSchedulerTask.java"
"build.xml"
To run, simply open a command-line prompt, change directory to RunSchedulerTask, and run ant:
${xl.home}\ant\bin\ant.bat run -Dxl.home="${xl.home}" -Dargs="<classname> <username> <password> <task-file.properties>"


Where
classname is the full classname of the scheduler task to run
username is the Xellerate login (eg xelsysadm)
password is the login password (eg xelsysadm)
task-file.properties is the properties file containing the Scheduler Task attributes
Example
To run the AD Group Lookup reconciliation:
Create a Task attributes file "ADGroupLookupRecon.properties" and add the following lines:
Server=MyActiveDirectoryServerItResourceInstance

LookupCodeName=Lookup.ADReconliation.GroupLookup

==================================
Run Ant
==================================
${xl.home}\ant\bin\ant.bat run -Dxl.home="${xl.home}" -Dargs="com.thortech.xl.schedule.tasks.ADGroupLookupReconTask xelsysadm xelsysadm ADGroupLookupRecon.properties"
