From the 2014.02 it is possible to schedule the archive tasks from the archive web application. The menu item archive tasks has to sub items (schedule tasks and history task runs).
The item schedule tasks shows the archive tasks and how they scheduled. The schedule of the archive tasks can be configured by the config file ArchiveTasksSchedule.xml. This file is placed in the config directory of the archive. the menu option manage configuration can be used to change this file on the server.
However note that not all tasks shown in the display can be scheduled. The task clear archive can only be started manually. This task removes all metadata records from the archive.
It is also possible to run archive tasks manually from this display. This can be done by using the start button. Running tasks can be stopped by using the stop-button. This button is only available when the
task is running. The button logfile can be used to download the logfile of the selected task.
In addition to scheduling standard tasks it is also possible to define custom tasks in the ArchiveTasksSchedule.xml. If you want a custom task which is not scheduled but can only run manually than you should deactivate the schedule.
An example is shown below

<archiveTaskId>example</archiveTaskId>
<executableFile>c:/bin/example.bat</executableFile>
<logFile>c:/bin/log/example.log</logFile>
