Run Scheduled Agent each 2 day

Dear Friends,

In Agent Property, there is no way i can set up an agent to run automatically each 2 day. Is it any posible way to manipulate this. As far as i know, the listed schedule were like this:

  • More Than Once A Day

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Monthly

  • Never

TIA,

Joseph

Schedule the agent “Daily”.In the agent code, check the current date against the agents “LastRun” property to decide the execution.

i.e.

If currentdate - 1 day = agent.LastRun then

don’t proceed

else

proceed

If you put this code in the agent, won’t the agent run every day and only get as far as checking to see if it ran yesterday (it did) and then never execute the rest of your code since the agent ran yesterday but only got as far as the check to see if it ran yesterday?

Oops!Thanks John for pointing that out.

Joseph, the logic i posted will fail since the agent would run everyday and hence the LastRun property would always fetch the previous date.

You could maintain the last run date in a profile document and check against that.

Sorry for the inconvience,

Ashish

You could run it every odd/even weekday without the use of a profile document. Doing it this way would result in two consecutive runs for odd days (Saturday = day 7 and Sunday = day 1) or a two day delay when using even days though so that may not work.

If Weekday(Today) Mod 2 > 0 Then

Print "This is an odd weekday - don't run the agent!"

'exit sub, etc

Else

Print "This is an even weekday - run the agent!"

'continue with execution

End If
