Can RTI_TASK_SCHEDULER be used to schedule a report to be run at 2pm every day for example.
Yes, the RTI TS can schedule a process to run every day at 2pm.
But, it is designed to start up a OEngineServer, which can't write a report.
So, have a OInsight desktop running, with a TIMER event set for 2pm.
Upon completion of that event, set the TIMER event for the next day.
Then you don't need the RTI TS.
I actually have one watching a Task Queue so that anyone in the network can
have it run a report/process for them.

You can use this method but you may find using the RTI_Task_Submit() function better. The function spawns a special OInsight process in GUI context to run the command specified. The purpose of the function is to generate PDF files from a non-gui context like OEngineServer/OECGI.
If your scheduled task calls the RTI_Task_Submit function to generate your PDF you don't need to use the timer event.
Great Jared, just what I was after.
I searched for 'RTI_Task_Submit' in the 9.3.1 help which found it under a 'topic' of 'OpenInsight Background Processor', so, I was just wondering where that is found from the Contents tab.
Hi Barry,
The Programmer's Reference Manual has been updated for the next release to include these commands.
