PT Profile Schedule Bulk Update

Overview

The following steps will step a ColdFusion scheduled task to run at night to automate the updating to profile records to your external database. The task will create a scheduled job within the ADF Scheduler library component. This will create a separate ColdFusion scheduled task to process the update/insert for the profile records.

This scheduled task should be configured on the CommonSpot Authoring server.

1. Navigate to the ColdFusion Administrator and login.
   1. "/cfide/administrator/"
2. Open the "Debugging & Logging > Scheduled Tasks" menu option.
3. Click the "Schedule New Task" button.
4. In the "Add/Edit Scheduled Task" form enter the following fields:
   1. Task Name = Profile-Nightly-Import
   2. Frequency = Recurring Daily @ 01:00

   3. URL = http://csauth.mysitedomain.com/_cs_apps/ajaxProxy.cfm?bean=profileService&method=autoImportUpdate&restart=true&scheduleProcess=true&passCount=50&delayMinutes=5
      1. Update the path to point to your sites authoring server.
      2. You can also modify the URL parameters for the following:
         1. passCount = Number of profile records to process in a row before scheduling a task to run the next "passCount" number of records.
         2. delayMinutes = Number of minutes to pause after the "passCount" number of records has been processed.
5. Click the "Submit" button to save the form.
