Auto-archiver in SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic 2D allows you to automatically backup your SOLIDWORKS Electrical<\/a> environment. An individual using a server environment doesn’t have to be conscious of backing up their project while using Auto-archiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaborative service that keeps everything connected is not captured by conventional back up methods that use SQL and electrical data. As a result, they are NOT the most effective approach to back up the electrical environment. Using the Archive Environment function is the right strategy for backing up SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematic data!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent work or data loss, an archived environment should be regularly built and stored in the software’s libraries. Additionally, by using this procedure, all ongoing electrical projects will be documented. In order to properly archive an environment, every electrical project needs to be closed. The software should be turned off or closed on the client machines to prevent any opened documents from causing the archived environment operation to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Auto-archiver is usable as of SOLIDWORKS Schematic 2021. When the Schematic software is installed, this application also gets installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prerequisite is to ensure that Schematic software and the task to be used should be on the same workstation when making plans for your Auto-archiver. It is possible to use a server, but you must ensure that a Schematic client is set up there as well. If a client machine is used instead of a server, Windows Task Scheduler must be installed on it, and the client machine must be kept powered on during the off-hours chosen for the task’s start-up time. Let\u2019s go through the procedures involved in putting this archiver into action.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows Task Scheduler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Launching the Windows Task Scheduler is the first action to take. The SOLIDWORKS Schematic client software needs to be installed on the server so that the task scheduler can run without requiring a user’s computer to be turned on or logged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 01<\/strong>: Click on start, open Windows Task Scheduler and click on create Task<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t get the task scheduler, browse at C:\\Windows\\System32\\taskschd.msc, and it can be accessed from any machine running Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Task<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, a secondary dialogue box will appear, where we can enter all of our information<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: You must be a full administrator on the server where the task is being created<\/strong> The secondary dialog box is shown below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 02<\/strong>: Enter Name<\/strong>, remember to fill without any special characters or gaps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 03<\/strong>: Select the \u201cRun whether user is logged on or not\u201d<\/strong> radio button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO NOT SELECT OK YET!<\/strong>  Only General tab is filled and need to fill other tabs as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a System account, which will have administrative rights on the server, is the best scenario. This account will ONLY run this task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 04<\/strong>: Click the trigger<\/strong> Tab, Select New<\/strong> from the bottom left corner of the dialog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upon clicking new<\/strong>, a dialog box will pop up as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stop<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/strong>: Fill Begin the task<\/strong> as per your convenient and select Stop task if it runs longer than<\/strong> (Time can be defined as per your convenient) and select enabled<\/strong> if not checked then click OK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: <\/strong>click Actions <\/strong>Tab, <\/strong>Select New<\/strong> from the bottom left corner of the dialog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Upon clicking new<\/strong>, a dialog box will pop up as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
