Server computer is allowed to sleep, and is set to wake and get mxf file at 22:00. The server successfully wakes and downloads, every time.
Since the server is known to be awake for this task, I thought it would be a good time to have my always running client computer scheduled to grab the mxf file from server at 22:02.
This often does work, but about half of the time I am getting the "mxf file not found" in the client log file.
I have experimented with this, and when the server performs the download task, it barely wakes up,(monitors do not fire up), and quickly sleeps again, like after 3-4 minutes (which seems odd because my computer is set to go to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity)- which leaves a short window for the client computer to grab the file. I am sure it takes some time for the network to be made available on the server too.
I tried adding a cmd.exe open and close to the epg123 event in the task scheduler to get the computer to stay awake longer, but it still did not fire up the screens or keep the computer awake longer than the 3 to 4 minutes.
Any suggestions on how to get a longer or "more thorough" wake on the server? Some other task that could be added to the task scheduler? Or am I even on the right track here?
Client not always able to grab mxf file - sleep issue?
