## Introduction

This page describes how to schedule data extraction when running a SQL connector

### Prerequisites

The development tools described in [Setting up a local test environment](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/setting-up-a-local-test-environment#setting-up-a-local-test-environment) should be installed before continuing.

The connector should be set up as described in [Setting up a SQL connector](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/standalone/2021.10/user-guide/setting-up-a-sql-connector#setting-up-a-sql-connector).

## Schedule a task for the extraction

To schedule the data extraction at regular intervals:

* Use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a task that calls `run.ps1` located in the `scripts/` directory of a connector.
* Set the desired scheduling parameters, to run the script at the desired moments.
  :::note
  The user that is used to execute the scripts, must have permissions to access the connector folder and the **Process Mining** installation directory. Moreover, the user must be able to access the source system and the staging database.
