Re: PgAgent Job Scheduling-Backup

Hi Jayakumar,

PgAgent for windows

1) Run PgAgent.sql script in maintenance database (Postgres database by
default).
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
Replace the path of pgAgent if you are not using default installation path
of Postgres
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.)
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.)
5) Login back to your normal account.
6) Start pgAgent service using the following command on command prompt
Net start pgAgent
7) Create a new job using PgAdmin III
8) Under step tab click Add to add new step.
Specify some name
Kind SQL / Batch depending upon the kind of job to be performed.
Database on which the job is to be performed.
Definition tab would contain a SQL command if kind selected is SQL
Definition tab would contain path of Batch file if kind selected is Batch
9) Under Schedule tab in Job window click Add to add new schedule for the
job
Specify some name
Specify the start date & time
Specify the end date and time
Specify days or weekdays, months when the task needs to be performed in
days tab
