Scheduling Processes/Reports without the Logi Scheduler using Windows Task Scheduler and Powershell

If you have a Logi process and task to run a report (or loop to send the report to multiple people), you can use the Logi Scheduler to automate the sending of the report on a periodic basis. 
You can also alternately use Windows Task Scheduler and Powershell to do the same!

Create a simple 1 line Powershell script in Notepad and save with .ps1 extension:
start "http://<<ServerName>>/rdProcess.aspx?rdProcess=<<ProcessName>>&rdTaskID=<<TaskName>>"

Now you have the script you can schedule it using Windows Task Scheduler as set out in the following:

  Refer to https://documentation.logianalytics.com/logiinfov12/content/process-tasks.htm#Calling 
  if you want to add Parameters to your task call:
  
  

  Calling a Task from a URL

  You can also call a process task directly from a URL, using the following syntax:

  http://www.myReportSite.com/myLogiApp/rdProcess.aspx?rdProcess=myTasks&rdTaskID=taskUpdate&myParam=1

  where rdProcess and rdTaskID are required and additional request variables, such as myParam, are optional.

  You can even do it when you are using Logi's SecureKey for embedded reports.
  Here's the Powershell script for doing that (also without opening browser):
  $processURL = "http://appurl.com/Analytics/rdProcess.aspx?rdProcess=EmailProcess&rdTaskID=tskEmailRpt"
  #Get Logi SecureKey
  $webresponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://appurl.com/Analytics/rdTemplate/rdGetSecureKey.aspx?Username=domain\username&ClientBrowserAddress=10.20.xx.xx"
  $token = $webresponse.Content
  #Write-Host ($token)
  $newUrl = $processURL + "&rdSecureKey=" + $token
  #Write-Host ($newUrl)
  Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$newUrl"
