Running Avaya Site Administration as a service? 1

[JEM_9449]

Hello,
I'd like to schedule some tasks in Avaya Site Administrator but whenever I log off or shut down ASA, the tasks don't run.

I assume this is because ASA is not running as as service (Windows Server 2012 R2)?

Has anyone had success with running ASA in the background? I cannot remain logged into ASA constantly so that the tasks I've created will run.

Thanks for any pointers.

Joe

I use a VM for that type of stuff. SO it stay running all the time.

Never got that to work. I've given up on running ASA on a server as the server reboots and the user is logged out and ASA stops working. There are several threads on the internet about scripting with Avaya.

Here are a few examples

This will probably not run as a service either. But it has some need features.

I've been trying to do the same thing recently. Gave up on RDP and VMs - a GPO kills all inactive RDP sessions, so I couldn't get round that. You could try creating a scheduled Windows task to start ASA, then schedule your reports in ASA to run just after that. I didn't get that to work, but it felt like I might be on the right path. In the end I chose a physical server that I have access to, installed ASA on it, configured ASA with cached credentials and scheduled the reports. They're all there every morning now
