Create Task Set File

NOTE: This feature is only available in Advanced Mode. If you have not enabled Advanced Mode, the Run Task Set and Repeat Run of Last Task Set commands will not be visible.

In order to run a Task Set you must create a Task Set XML file. This file can contain several Task Sets and each Task Set can have one or more Tasks.

An example of a Task Set file is located in the Process Navigator installation folder (C:\Program Files\Triaster\Process Navigator/Tasks.xml). It is recommended that the file is copied into your Process Navigator/Command Line Automation Archive folder and then edited using a text editor.

Below is an example of a completed multi-task Tast Set XML file. The tasks are as follows:

Set the Multi-Map Root folder to "M:\Enterprise Process Maps\Process Maps\"
Refresh Off-Page Connectors
Export to HTML

</TaskSet>

</TaskSets>

</ProcessNavigator>

Tasks

The complete set of possible tasks and their arguments is listed below.
