Prior to OnBase Foundation EP1 the Distribution Service was a separate Windows Service, with its own installer. The Distribution Service Windows Service was responsible for executing the configured Distribution Service Tasks, according to the configured schedule.
The Unity Scheduler is a general-purpose Scheduler that can execute many different types of scheduled task, including Workflow Timers and Unity Scripts.
Beginning with OnBase Foundation EP1, a Unity Scheduler Distribution Service Task Type was added. So instead of being executed by a separate Windows Service, Distribution Service Tasks are scheduled and executed by the Unity Scheduler.
The screenshot below shows a number of the available Task Types, including the Email Sending Task Type, which is the Distribution Service Task Type.
(The exact Task Types available depend on which Products are licensed)
Details of the Distribution Service Unity Scheduler Task may be found in the Unity Scheduler Module Reference Guide (MRG). The Foundation EP1 Unity Scheduler MRG may be found here:
