Chapter 9. Regular Population Scheduling

Once a data warehouse begins its operation, you need to regularly feed new data from the source to your data warehouse, as discussed in Chapter 8, “Regular Population.” To ensure a steady stream of data, you schedule regular population using the job scheduler available on your platform. This chapter, the last in Part II, shows you how to set up a regular population as a scheduled task in Windows. The scheduler will call a batch file that in turn invokes the script discussed in Chapter 8.
