How do you get the Scheduler to work?
Is there a full manual that describes how this is supposed to work? After an hour, I had hoped it would have been working now.
1. How do you schedule when to send emails?
2. Test button under SMTP configuration does not send out any emails. It works properly if Mailplugin is chosen under Notifications.
3. From the "GeminiSchedulerGuide":
After installation, essential changes to the WEB.CONFIG file are required in order to correctly configure and use Gemini.
what are these "essential changes" that need to be made. All I see is information about configuring multiple sites.
4. What about the section on "MailboxProcessors" should I do anything with that? If so, what needs to be done. I am not sure what all of these fields mean.
Are changes to the SMTP Configuration in gemini supposed to be saved to
the CounterSoft.Gemini.Scheduler.exe.config in the MailboxProcessors
section?
I can see items in the Windows Event Viewer under Applciation for the scheduler, but nothing is being sent. What am I missing here?

You need to open the config file and set the URL., username and passowrd (of a valid Gemini admin). There is no need to setup the mailbox section for sending alerts. After setting the config up, start the service and see if you have any errors in the event log. Please make sure you have Micorsoft WSE 3.0 installed on the web server. |

All this has been done and there are no errors that I see. |

I presume that the site is configured to use the scheduler for sending alerts. Please check the messages in the event log, there should be scheduler info messages. Also, check the Gemini error log. |

Ok, I have narrowed it down to this. I cannot get the scheduler (or the mailservice for that matter) to work if Verbose Logging is on (set to YES). |

You will have to give your ASPNET user permissions so write to the C drive in order to use verbose logging. So I suggest not having verbose logging on and setting it to use the scheduler. The scheduler will send emails every "Interval Specified in minutes". That is it will take each issue updated and rollup all updates for that issue into 1 email. There is no SMTP info in the web.config file anymore, are you using an old config file? |

Sorry, I did not mean the web.config. I meant the config file for the scheduler (discussed above). |

You do not need to change the scheduler config file for SMTP changes. It will pick it up from Gemini. |

So I don't need to do ANYTHING to the schedule config file? |

Yes, you need to configure it with the correct url, user and password. But you do not need to change it if you want to change SMTP settings as they are done in the web app. |
