I was thinking HTTPJolie, not AutoItX. You can send commands over TCPIP using the TCPSend utility that ships with it. TCPSend could be launched with the scheduler.
Or you could schedule the launch of DVD Profiler itself, with the command file option, which would include the menu command for refreshing profiles.
And then there is DVDPFauxAPI and the CommndOnEventGUI which could probably do the same thing based on a database event, such as opening the database.

Yes, but that was five months ago. Surely something as basic as being able to get profile updates without having to refresh the entire online profile list every time could've been fixed by now. The repeated downloading of that largely-the-same block of data using the CTRL trick actually creates unnecessary traffic for the server.
Well I respect and benefit from your efforts as a major contributor to the database. So if there is anything you think a plugin or tool could do to make things easier for you to do that work, please make the request or suggestion and I promise to do my best as a "tools" guy to do my pert.
There are already tools by GSyren that might be able to help. For example, with his tools, you could schedule the refresh overnight or on whatever schedule you choose. Then you would not have to wait when you are ready to work. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 26290 |

I am curious as an experiment. Could you provide the Profile ID(UPC.Locality). We have tools that access the online database internally. It would be interesting if those tools can see pending profiles.
Gunnar if you want to experiment, I think there are a couple of internal commands that I could add to HTTPJolie if the existing ones don't do it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 7, Topic Views: 8246 |

HTTPJolie Version 1.70 Available
This version is compatible with significant and exciting enhancements to the GSyren tools suite. Please watch for the announcement.
In this version of HTTPJolie:
- Access to HTTPJolie Usage Guide (pdf) from Help menu on DVD Profiler main screen
- Access to sophisticated GSyren version of HTTPJolie Command Reference
- Enhanced version of Sample Client, enabled to receive communications from GSyren Tools
I am indebted to GSyren for his brilliant and creative collaboration. | Posted: Topic Replies: 113, Topic Views: 36138 |

Great news!
When you say "upload," what do you mean? I always interpret "upload" to mean from client to server, or from local to online (cloud). From where to where, do you want to send images? Where is the image repository that you are trying to refresh? | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 12950 |

I fully expect Ken's method to work, if the others didn't, but just in case:
(1) Start with a clean database
(2) Install BulkEdit
(3) Tools > Scrapegoat allows you to see any user's online
(4) Download your own database skeleton. This is different from the Invelos version. Bulkedit creates a database of new blank profiles using the profile IDs from the online.
(5) Then refresh the database from the online. If it still crashes, you should be able to figure out which profile it crashed on and delete it. Corrupt profiles are often due to bad data in the overview. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 12950 |

There are other methods of database recovery. The one that Ken usually recommended is as follows:
(1) Open a new empty database
(2) Restore your latest backup into the clean database
(3) Run database repair
(4) Backup
You should be Ok | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 12950 |

| I like the advice given by ObiKen and if necessary follow with GSyren's. Report after that, and we can go from there. Quickest way to eliminate hardware issues is to temporarily install on a different machine if possible. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 12950 |
