What is xScheduler?
You have created the perfect solution for your DotNetNuke site using the powerful XMod module, you have deployed it and it is now collecting and displaying you or your customer’s important data.
But your solution is not quite complete there are times when you could really do with running a scheduled task against your XMod data using the built in DNN Scheduler.
You might need to:
· Perform houskeeping
· Generate reports
· Generate email
· Etc
xScheduler provides the ability to schedule Xmod related tasks, tasks that can be triggered by Xmod data and consume Xmod data to provide the extra background processing abilities that will complete your solution.
xScheduler on it's own will not give you anything it is simply a framework that I have written that has functions to expose XMod forms and data and DNN scheduler functionality.
This allows me to create modules for xScheduler which perform specific tasks on XMod forms.
The first module I have created;which is included in xScheduler, is xEmailer.
