WinZip® jobs are suitable for distribution
by system administrators and others who are responsible for multiple computers
or multiple users. There are a few things you should keep in mind.
The job file (WJF extension) contains all the information that WinZip needs to run
the job. It is the only thing you need to distribute. Note, however, that
distributing the WJF file does not schedule the job to run automatically
on the user's computer (see below).
WinZip jobs require WinZip Pro to be installed on the user's computer.
When specifying the files and folders
you want zipped and the destination
folder for the Zip file, use generic folder names for common system
folders such as My Documents.
Generic folder names substitute generic names such as
<MyDocuments> for physical folder names such as
C:\Documents and Settings\Albert\My Documents. This ensures that your job
will run correctly even if the physical location of the folder on the
user's computer is different from the physical location of the folder on
the computer where the job was created.
Distributing a job file does not schedule
the job on the target computer. WinZip jobs are scheduled by the
Job Wizard, using the Windows task
scheduler, when the job is created or edited. There are two ways to schedule
a job locally:
Open the job for editing (Edit from WinZip's Jobs menu)
and click Next in the Job Wizard until the
Specifications Complete panel is reached.
Click Schedule, enter the user account name and password, click
OK, and click Finish.
-or-
Directly schedule the job using the Windows task scheduler. The
command line for the job should be:
If you want the job to run unattended, the user must
run the job once manually and check the
box in the security dialog labeled Don't ask me again about this job.
Note that this security dialog will appear again if the job is subsequently
moved or modified.
The job's log file can provide
valuable information about any errors that might have occurred during the
job run. You may want to set up a mechanism to FTP or e-mail this file to a
central location after the job run.
