How to Change the Daily Report Generation Time

This following article shows how to change the Daily Report generation time from the default time of 12:15 am, to a custom time.

Warning: the following steps involve editing a configuration file for Events2HVAC.  Improper editing can lead to file corruption or disabling of your automatic scheduling.

Step 1

Go to the application root folder (typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamside Solutions\Events2HVAC\") and find the file "events2hvac_server.config" file.  Open this XML file in a text editor.

Step 2

Locate the key="ReportQueryTime".  Edit the Value="00:15" entry with the new time (in 24hr format) and save the changes.  For this example 09:00 is used.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    ....
    <add key="ReportQueryTime" value="09:00" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

Step 3

Restart the Events2HVAC Windows Service.  Go to menu TOOLS | OPTIONS.  Click on the "Command Queue" tab.  Hit the STOP button and wait for the status to show "Stopped", then hit the START button to restart the service.

Note: the service can also be restarted by opening the Windows Services administration window, select the Events2HVAC_Service item, and hit the "Restart" link.
