At any time, you can run a single Day End process manually to immediately update changes in Horizon. (For example, you may want to update item statuses or clear the New Titles List in staff searching staff searching.)
Running certain Day End processes out of order or without proper arguments can corrupt data.
You can run a single Day End process in two ways: starting it from the Horizon Launcher, or starting it from the program’s executable file.
If you want to start a single Day End process from the Horizon Launcher, you must first add it as a process to the navigation bar or as a button to the toolbar. (For instructions on adding a process to the navigation bar or a button to the toolbar, see the Horizon Launcher Configuration Guide.)
If you will be running a single process regularly, SirsiDynix recommends that you add the process to the Launcher for easier access.
If you are running a single Day End process from the program’s executable file, you need to know two things:
• | The path to the directory where the Day End program name, or executable, is stored. The default directory location is the folder where your Horizon client files are installed. |
If you do not know where the process is stored, you can contact SirsiDynix Customer Support.
• | The name of the process. (For a detailed list of all Day End processes, see A Listing of Day End Processes .) |
Horizon lets Day End run only once for each calendar day and will not let you run Day End manually for a date in the future.
To run a single Day End process manually
1 | Log in to Horizon. |
2 | Do one of these tasks: |
To run the process from the Launcher |
To run the process from the executable file |
|||||||||||||||
If you need to display the navigation bar, choose View, Navigation Bar.
For example, double-click Purge Bib History. |
For example, you would double-click the DeBurbHi.exe file if you wanted to run the Purge Bib History Day End process. |
Horizon starts the process and displays the Day End monitor window for that process. A red bar moves across the window as the process runs:
You can also run all Day End processes from the command line, which is particularly useful if you want Day End to run upon restart or within any other scripted process.
To run all Day End processes from the command line
1 | From the command prompt, navigate to the directory where the Day End program name, or executable, is stored. The default directory location is the folder where your Horizon client files are installed. |
2 | Enter this command to start the Day End program, followed by the “/t” switch, in this format: |
de.exe /t
This allows Day End to start with the Automatic button already pushed.
