The general purpose scheduler is used to schedule many different types of tasks (archiving, aggregation, workflow automation, etc.). Depending on the type of task being performed, not all of the features described here may be available - for example, the schedules for some types of tasks can be paused, while others cannot be (they can only be stopped or started).
Click the Define Schedule or Modify Schedule button to open the Schedule Definition panel.
From the Schedule by list, select one of the following:
Day/Week to define a schedule based on one or more days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.).
Month to define a schedule based on one or more days of the month, for every month or specific months.
From the Run at list, select the hour and minute at which you want to run the task.
Optionally, to run the task more than once a day:
Select a value from the Restart list (every hour up to every 12 hours). The default is Run only once, meaning the task will not be restarted during the day.
Select a value from the repeat list (every minute up to every 59 minutes). The default is Do not repeat.
If you selected Day/Week
from the Schedule by list, mark
each day of the week you want the task run, or click Every
day to select all days (or to clear all days if they are already
selected).
OR
If you selected Month from
the Schedule by list, do one of
the following:
To select a numbered day (the 15th, for example):
Select the Day button.
Select a day: 1-31, depending on the month selected.
Select Every month, or one or more specific months.
To select a weekday occurrence within the month (the first Monday, for example):
Select the lower button (beside the word The).
Select a week relative to the start of the month: First, Second, Third, etc.
Select a weekday: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc.
Select either Every month, or one or more specific months.
Click the Save button.
Note that not all types of scheduled tasks provide a pause option.
Click the Pause button and
Confirm the action.
After a schedule has been defined, a Remove button appears in the Schedule Definition panel.
Click the Define Schedule or Modify Schedule button to open the Schedule Definition panel.
Click the Remove button.
