Creating jobs
In octoplant, you have the option to execute jobs according to a schedule. These check as to whether a program matches the last checked in on the device or whether the newest version has been implemented on the device. In addition to this, you can create jobs that produce a backup of a device.
Note
To perform the upload for KISTLER DMF-P and maXYmos process monitors, the executing service must run under a specific user account. This user account needs to be a member of the Administrators group. The upload for KISTLER DMF-P and maXYmos process monitors cannot work if the application VDogMasterService.exe or the applications VDogUploadAgent/VDogCompareAgent are running under the Local System user account.
