Although the consolidation is a stored procedure, the processing of it
is not. If you simply run a "consolidation 1", you'll probably get a
lot of records back. We are working on an alternative solution to being
able to schedule this.

What Graeme is talking about is rather than put the query into the
scheduler, create a stored procedure containing the query. Then
just put the name of the stored procedure into the TSQL text box
for the scheduler. You can test the proc but typing just the name
is query manager and executing.

The cool thing about stored procedures is that you can access
them from defined remote servers. We do this a lot to move
or manually replicate information.
