Setting up ODBC Query to run daily

[#1]

I am currently querying a couple of DB's using windows ODBC driver to read into JMP and eventually into a Data Table. I'd like to automate this process to update the DB and corresponding output scripts & Dashboards to run (for example) every day @ midnight.

Does anyone have any literature or reccomendations on how to do this?

Thanks all!

A small While loop who will execute once the day of year (atmidnight) changes

runtime_limit is a small fail_save to abord the loop.

Names Default To Here( 1 );

stop_command = 0;
try(win1<<close window;);
win1 = New Window( "Timer",
	V List Box(
		tb1 = text box("Date: " || Format( Today(), "d.m.y h:m:s" )),
		Button Box( "Cancel",
			stop_command =1;
			win1 << close window;
		)
	)
);
i = 1;
runtime_limit = 10; // max number of iterations of the loop
D_year = day of year(today());
while(!stop_command,
	i++;
	if(i>runtime_limit,stop_command = 1;beep();throw("runtime limit reached"));
	wait(1); // execute every X secconds
	
	if(D_year != day of year(today()),
		// Execute Code
		print(i);
	);
	D_year = day of year(today());
	
	tb1 << set text("Date: " || Format( Today(), "d.m.y h:m:s" ));
);

JSL has a Schedule() function that will allow a script to be executed some number of seconds in the future.  See "Scheduling Actions" in the Scripting Guide for details.
