Configure Autoload for Seamless Restart

When your computer stops, autoload stops. After your computer restarts and the autoload scheduler account logs on, autoload starts. If you want autoload to restart seamlessly each time your computer restarts, complete the following steps:
1.
In the Task Scheduler window, right-click the autoload task, and select Properties.
schedule properties
2.
On the General tab, select Run whether user is logged on or not, check Do not store password, and click OK.
run whether or not the user is logged on
3.
Navigate to your equivalent of the following directory:
C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Applications\SASVisualAnalytics\VisualAnalyticsAdministrator\
4.
Right-click schedule.bat, and select Edit.
edit schedule
5.
Notice that the batch file does not reflect changes that you made in Task Scheduler. If you modify a task in Task Scheduler, use Task Scheduler to start and stop the task (instead of using the batch file that SAS supplies). For example, to stop a scheduled task in Task Scheduler, right-click on the task, and select Disable. To restart the task, right-click on it, and select Enable.
6.
Verify that autoload is still running successfully. If autoload can no longer access the drop zone, either clear the Do not store password check box or set the task to run only when the autoload scheduler account is logged on.
