Hi Jon, Is the datasource connection information dynamically assigned for the Crontab?
Because if it is, and you're using User Variables, then the Crontab operation may not be able to access the Variables. This has to do with the less-than perfect model for State Management between Browsers and Servers and is not necessarily a limitation of Witango - because you're going Server-to-Server now and not Browser-to-Server. Local, Method, Application, Custom and Domain Variables should be fine though. Again, just a guess. Hope this helps.
