Dear Vishal/Ashish,
Sorry to say that... Kindly give me the steps in widows format please...
I done as per your steps only..
1. step i done it .. Its ran fine..
2. step also i done it. ( I replace the path of pgAgent from C:\Program
Files\Postgresql to D:\Program Files),
What is your Connection String you have given to install PgAgent Service.?
3. Login using Postgres user account in windows.:- it is working fine.
4. Try to access pgAdmin III tool in that login. :- This is also working
fine ..I can connect with pgAdmin III
5. Login back to your normal account. :- Yes i login back in my normal
account and password
6. Start pgAgent service using the following command on command prompt
* Net start pgAgent :- Yes here only i face a problem the error is
(C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin> Net start pgAgent
the error is "The Service did not start due to
a logon failure."
7. Create a new job using PgAdmin III :- Yes i created One new job here.
8. Under step tab click Add to add new step.
* Specify some name:- Yes here i given BACKUP
* Kind - SQL / Batch depending upon the kind of job to be performed.
: - Yes here i selected SQL only.
* Database on which the job is to be performed. :- Yes i selected
database name.
* Definition tab would contain a SQL command if kind selected is SQL:
Yes here i given pg_dump <database name> to D:\AGBACKUP\AG.SQL
pg_dump is not a sql command so you have to create a batch file to execute
this command. Kind is to selected as Batch and in definition tab give the
path to that batch file.
* Definition tab would contain path of Batch file if kind selected is
Batch
9) Under Schedule tab in Job window click Add to add new schedule for
the
job
* Specify some name : Yes here i given BCKP1
* Specify the start date & time:- Yes i given start date and time
* Specify the end date and time :- Yes i given end date and time
* Specify days or weekdays, months when the task needs to be
performed in
days tab :- Yes i given monday,wednesday,Friday
* Specify time hours & Minutes when you want the task to be
performed.
(Atleast One hour & minute to be selected.) :- Yes i given One hour and
30mnts
If you have selected One Hour that means 1 'O' clock in night that is 01:30
HRS in night it would perform the task.
Suggestion - to test remove check from hours and put some more in minutes so
that every hour after some minutes the task is performed.
* Specify exception if any when you do not want the task to be
performed. :- No i didn't give any thing..
Kindly guide me ....
Thanks & Regards
Jayakumar M
