1) Run PgAgent.sql script in maintenance database (Postgres database by >default).
I copied that script and executied in Query tool, it is executed and i get that job icon tab.
2) Install PgAgent service using the following command on command >prompt -
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\pgAgent" INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p XXXX hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=Postgres
I installed the pgAgent and it is running..( I checkied in Administrative tool>>Services>>> there PostgreSQL Scheduling Agent >> status is started
Replace the path of pgAgent if you are not using default installation path of Postgres
My pgAgent path is C:\Program FIles\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin\pgAgent
Replace XXXX with the password of OS User Postgres (One given while installing Postgres on windows) ????
dbname=postgres (change if your maintenance database is different.)
my Maintenance database is postgres.
3) Login using Postgres user account in windows. ?????
4) Try to access pgAdmin III tool in that login. (These two steps are required to create pgpass.conf file under Postgres login account.)
In pgpass file i have two logins and password, one is server login and another is Account name and password
5) Login back to your normal account.???
6) Start pgAgent service using the following command on command prompt Net start pgAgent
The command promopt is psql to postgresl prompt... postgres-# i entered Net start pgAgent.... The cursor comes next line that is postgres-# prompt
I entered in postgres-# pg_dump -f "D:\trial.sql" -apostgres -Upostgres... The cursor comes next line that is postgres-# prompt
