Question about catalog schedule

When I start a full population on a full_text catalog manually (Right click
on a full_text catalog and click start full_text population), it works
perfectly. But when I try to schedule a full pupulation on the same catalog,
it seems like it never start to do the full population. Do I need to set up
something in sql server inorder to invoke the event?
Thanks you.
no, you should not have to do anything special.
Check the gatherer logs to see if the population happend. You can find them
in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\FTDATA\SQLServer\GatherLogs
Use gthrlog.vbs to interpret them. You can find this in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSSearch\Bin
Copy it to %windir%\system32 and you can run this script anywhere.

|||Tom,
Could you review your server's Application event log for "Microsoft Search"
and MssCi source events? Both of these events record the success and failure
of an attempted Full Population. If there are any errors near the time that
you attempted a scheduled SQLServerAgent job, could you post the event text?
Thanks,
John
