Starting May 1st, 2018, we will no longer offer the ArchiveOne family of products. This includes all editions of ArchiveOne, ArchiveOne for Files, Max Compression, and Access Security Manager. If you currently hold a maintenance and support contract, you will continue to receive our award-winning support until your contract expires, or until May 1st, 2019, whichever occurs first. The license for ArchiveOne is perpetual; therefore the software may continue to be used independently without any updates or support indefinitely.

How to Schedule a Policy to Start through a Script

  • Last updated on

You can start a policy using a script. For example, after a backup has been completed and the backup software allows for starting a script upon completion.

Some older versions of ArchiveOne may not have the required .dll file in the correct location to allow the VBS to process correctly.

  1. On the Archive server, browse to the SDK folder in the installation directory, by default: C:\Program Files (x86)\C2C Systems\ArchiveOne
  2. If the NLog.dll file is not present, copy the file from C:\Program Files (x86)\C2C Systems\ArchiveOne\WebSupport into the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\C2C Systems\ArchiveOne\SDK
  3. Create a new text file and rename it MyScript.vbs.

  4. Open the .vbs file in Notepad, and add the following lines to the contents:
    Dim polman
    Set polman=CreateObject("C2CSystems.ArchiveOne.Policy.PolicyManager")
    polman.StartPolicy("<mypolicyname>")
    where <mypolicyname> is the name of the Policy you wish to run.

    Enclose the policy name in double quotation (" ") marks.

     

  5. Save and close the file.

  6. To run the script, open a command prompt and type:
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CScript <FolderPath\script.vbs>
    where <FolderPath\script.vbs> is the location and name of the VBS script you have created, e.g. C:\MyScripts\ScheduledPolicy.vbs 

    On a 64-bit operating system, the script needs to be run in 32-bit mode.

     

  7. To verify the script has successfully started the specified policy, open the ArchiveOne Admin console.

  8. Right click the Policy node, and click View Status. Verify the policy status displays as running.

If the test is successful, you can schedule the VBS file to run via Task Scheduler or through your backup software.
