Scheduled Tasks page

You use the Scheduled Tasks page to schedule the execution of local and remote web pages and to generate static HTML pages. The scheduling facility is useful for applications that do not require user interactions or customized output. ColdFusion developers use this facility to schedule daily sales reports, corporate directories, statistical reports, and so on.

Information that is read more often than written is a good candidate for scheduled tasks. Instead of executing a query to a database every time the page is requested, ColdFusion MX renders the static page with information generated by the scheduled event. Response time is faster because no database transaction takes place.

You can run scheduled tasks once; on a specified date; or at a specified time, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can run a scheduled task daily, at a specified interval, or between specified dates.

The Schedule Task page lets you create, edit, and delete scheduled tasks. For more information, see the online Help.
