In this solution we will go through the process of creating or editing a batch file for your Auction Master APU's.  


Creating an "Automated Processes Utility" Batch (.bat) File


  1. Open the "Automated Processes Utility" module in Auction Master.
  2. Once open, select the processes you are using and would like to launch along with setting how frequently the service should run.
  3. Once complete select the "Build Command Line Script" at the bottom middle of the window.
  4. Once that is selected, a window will pop up with Command Line Parameters.
  5. Click "Save As..." on the top right of the window, select your desired location (ex: Desktop) and change "Save as type" to all files.
  6. Give the file a desired file name and make sure that it ends with .bat and click save (ex: APU START.bat).
  7. You can then test this batch file by closing all instances of Auction Master and double clicking your APU START.bat file.


Adding or Removing a process to a "Automated Processes Utility" Batch (.bat) File


  1. Open the "Automated Processes Utility" module in Auction Master.
  2. Right click your existing APU START.bat file from your desktop or specified file location and click open with Notepad or Notepad++.
  3. Look at the end of each line on your APU START.bat file and select the cooresponding process in the "Automated Processes Utility" module in Auction Master.
  4. Once existing processes have been selected, close Notepad and rename the existing batch file to APU START OLD.bat.
  5. Select the process you would like to add or deselect the process you would like to remove in the "Automated Processes Utility" module in Auction Master.
  6. Once complete select the "Build Command Line Script" at the bottom middle of the window.
  7. Once that is selected, a window will pop up with Command Line Parameters.
  8. Click "Save As..." on the top right of the window, select your desired location (ex: Desktop) and change "Save as type" to all files.
  9. Give the file a desired file name and make sure that it ends with .bat and click save (ex: APU START.bat).
  10. Delete the old batch file you renamed to APU START OLD.bat and it isn't mistakenly selected.
  11. You can then test this batch file by closing all instances of Auction Master and double clicking your new APU START.bat file.
