titleApplication Server Must Be Configured

Your Aptify installation must include one or more Application Servers to schedule messages for future delivery. When a user specifies a future delivery date and time, the system creates a Scheduled Task to execute the Message Run at the date and time specified. See Creating a Scheduled Task for more information.

 

 

 

  1. Open a Message Systems record.
  2. Selext Select the Scheduling tab.
  3. Enter an application server that will send the messages marked for future delivery in the Application Server field.
  4. Enter Remote Scheduler in the Scheduled Task Service field.
    • You can also use Windows Scheduler as the Scheduled Task Service but in this case, all users who attempt to schedule messages for future delivery must have the necessary permissions on the Application Server to create Windows Scheduled Tasks.
  5. With Remote Scheduler, all users can schedule messages for future delivery, regardless of their permission level (since the Application Server user will create the Windows Scheduled Task).
  6. Enter a category in the Scheduled Task Category field. This is the category that will be assigned to the Scheduled Tasks records created to track the future delivery of messages.
  7. Enter a Job Account Name for the Scheduled Task. This is the Aptify user account that will run the Scheduled Task to create a Process Flow Runs record.
  8. Enter a Job Account Password for the Scheduled Task. This is the password of the specified Job Account user.
  9. See the Aptify Application Server Guide for more information on these fields related to the Scheduled Tasks functionality.
  10. In the standard Aptify installation, the Job Account Password is encrypted using the Generic Entity Encryption Key. By default, the sa user and members of the Accounting, Administrators, or Users group have access to this key. Only users who have access to the key can enter a value in this field. Also, any user who will use Remote Scheduling also needs access rights to this key in order save the scheduled message's corresponding Scheduled Tasks record.

    • Depending on the security model that your organization has implemented, you may want to create a new key to encrypt this field and allow only designated users access to that key. This is the recommended approach but you should use the same key to encrypt this field that you use to encrypt the Default Job Account Password field in the Application Servers entity. See

    • Users who will use remote scheduling also need access to the Security Key that encrypts the Scheduled Tasks entity's Job Account Password field. See the Creating a Scheduled Task section in the "Scheduled Tasks" chapter of the Aptify Application Server Guide for more information on this field.

      Note

      You must specify a Job Account Name and Job Account Password to enable delayed message delivery (even if the Application Server has a default Job Account Name and Password already configured).
