InvoiceNET® Server Agent

In InvoiceNET® ver 7.132 and above, a new feature called InvoiceNET® Server Agent (InvNETSrvAgent) was introduced to automate scheduled tasks such as automated backup of company data. InvNETSrvAgent can run a job on a schedule, in response to a specific event or on-demand. For example, if user want to post a voucher at the end of each month, they can automate this task. The task will be initiated at the scheduled time; if it encounters a problem, InvNETSrvAgent record the event and notify the user.

Description

After the installation, the service will start automatically and user can check the running status from \[Server]\Control Panel\Administrative Task\Services. The current version of InvNETSrvAgent supports the following types of automated tasks such as:
 
  1. Backup Company: as its name suggest, user can automate the back of their company data at a scheduled interval. User can create a backup job from the client tool, Scheduled Job Manager as it is available in InvoiceNET®(Tools->Scheduled Job Manager). The InvNETSrvAgent automate the backup process at regular interval for them.
  2. Run Script: User can run a customized SQL script at a regular interval.
  3. Scheduled Voucher Entry: for this type of scheduled task user need to create a template voucher entry using a voucher type called ‘Schedule’ (user can create this type of voucher in voucher manager under the group ‘Schedule’). At the time of voucher entry using this voucher type, user will be asked for job details such as time at the event should occur, name of the job and user notification details, etc.
InvNETSrvAgent has the option to notify the user when a task failed due to some reason. To get the notification on task failure, the users list and email, to get failure notification as email, must be provided at the time of job creation. User can view the notification details using InvoiceNET® Message and Reminder Service.
