Background Schedule Checklist

When creating a schedule that runs in the background, you can create it directly as a background schedule or create a foreground schedule and convert it to a background schedule. The following is an overview of the steps necessary to successfully implement a background schedule:

1. Create a background schedule in the configuration environment of the iFIX WorkSpace.
2. Add the schedule to the background task startup list, using the Background Startup tab in the User Preferences dialog box.
3. Monitor entries as necessary from the run-time environment in the iFIX WorkSpace.
