Asset Information Manager enables you to use Windows Task Scheduler to automatically maintain and monitor asset information that is created by daily asset management jobs.

When you install Asset Information Manager, tasks are created in Windows Task Scheduler. You can modify this task schedule and settings for enabling or disabling tasks as appropriate for how you handle asset information.

Note that when Asset Information Manager is first installed, all tasks are disabled.

This section provides the details of the tasks and describes each task's setup procedure.

Notes

• A user with administrator permissions must perform task scheduling.
• If you use Windows XP Professional, you must execute task schedules in an environment in which Windows XP Professional's login user and password have been set. Task schedules will not execute in an environment in which the user and password have not been set.
• When executing an Asset Information Manager task in a 64-bit OS, you must execute it using the 32-bit command prompt. For the execution procedure, see F(2) Notes on executing commands and tasks in a 64-bit OS.
  

  Reference note

  You can create tasks for executing unique processing, in addition to the tasks that are created automatically when Asset Information Manager is installed. To define the processing to be executed by a task, use an access definition file (file for defining processing using a script provided by Asset Information Manager). For details about creating an access definition file and adding tasks, see online Help for Job Management Partner 1/Asset Information Manager - Creating an Access Definition File (assetscr.chm).
