Backing up Windows schedules

edited Mar 10, 2016 2:30PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC)

Hello,

I like to use Windows Scheduler to run many of my jobs on the Oracle database server.  For example:

Daily backup

Exports of critical files

Cleanup jobs

etc...

I keep my jobs in a scheduler folder called 'Oracle' so they are separated from the other Windows tasks and easy to identify.

As part of my daily backup, I also back up the Windows Schedules so they are available for recovery or transfer to another system.  I would like to share how this is done in case anyone else is interested.

The following code in a Windows batch file does the job.  The first schtasks command queries the scheduler and returns a CSV file of the tasks in the 'Oracle' folder.  The for loop reads the CSV file and calls subroutine :extrsched which uses schtasks to extract and create an xml file for each scheduled task. 

Howdy, Stranger!
