I’ve coded an application that generates XML files for use with a mobile phone app using Delphi 7. The application was developed using forms etc. It exits when done. Can this be run once a day as-is, or do I have to make it a console application or add code to allow it be run by the server? The scheduled execution is done by the host.
The application is about 60% done.
It’s basically just a heads-up question, so that I know about any snafus beforehand.
Does someone with experience have some helpful tips?
I’m also interested to know if writing files in a server environment (to folders to which I have write access) needs special handling somehow.
Edit: finished it (a while ago) and it writes files accessible via http without any problems. (Well, after configuring IE8 to not require human intervention for every pageload (Trusted Sites/Enhanced Security etc…))
Run your App from Task Scheduler and you’ll be fine.
