To setup cron jobs
See the SFX Manuals for details. SFX Manuals are updated monthly. Local copies live at W:\Departmental_Folders\Acquisitions\SFX_Project\Version 3 Manuals or can be obtained at the ExLibris documentation portal
http://docs.exlibrisgroup.com/docportal/logon.php .
Edit the crontab by typing crontab -e at the main prompt.
Statistics move crons can be setup via the Statistics section of server_admin_util
Google Scholar job was setup by registration procedure in the KB, but edited in crontab to add ebook export.
RSI and other index jobs also setup via server_admin_util. Can be edited in crontab.
As of June 2009 we don't cron stats moves because it moves most recent first and we need to monitor table space and file size. We move statistics manually both online to offline and offline to archives. Lists of the archived files can be found on this wiki at:
