Scheduling

We have a Web with several subsites and want to begin to schedule pages to
automatically overwrite pages based on a weekly or monthly schedule. Can
this be done using the server.transfer or the server.execute method?

Hi Mike,

How can this be done? Do we need to use an Access database, then? (We don't
have a high skill level here).

Sally,

First why do you have a requirement to "overwrite" other pages? Does the navigation change, is the content changing or both?

Well, maybe I shuld have used the word change or replace. Anyway I want to
remove the page that's there and replace it with a new page. Does that make
more sense?

To accomplish that you'll need to use a CRON, program that will upload the changed page based upon your schedule or use a program
that will filter the requests and send the new update pages.

Another method would be to have a duplicate file structure that would contain the updated pages and a ASP program that would see if
a new page exists. If it does copies it into the primary folders and deletes the it from the updated pages file structure. In all
cases it will slow the serving of pages down.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks. Maybe a CRON will work. What do you know about a CRON?

If you are just changing page content, then a database would be way to go,
not actually changing files.

We want to update the page content. The file name & path would stay the
same. Is there a kb article that covers this or is it more complicated than
that?

Sally,

I am not aware of any KB that outlines how to do this.

However, you might be able to use server.execute to dynamically load an ASP
SSI Include based on a date.
