Starting a Repeating Component Job
This topic describes how to create and start a repeating component job. You can define repeating component jobs by using either components or component job templates, and you can schedule component jobs to run repeatedly at specific times over specific intervals. In order to run repeating component jobs, both the Server Request Broker (alias SRBroker) and Server Request Processor (alias SRProc) server components must be running. If you have to run repeating jobs at unspecified times or intervals, then run repeating component jobs by using a component job template. NOTE: It is not possible to start a business service directly as a repeating component job. To accomplish this task, you first must include the business service in a workflow process. You can then run the workflow process as a repeating component job for the Workflow Process Batch Manager component (alias WfProcBatchMgr).
This topic is part of Administering Component Jobs. To start a repeating component job
- Create a component job as described in Starting a Component Job, but do not start the component job.
- In the Job Detail view, enter data in the Repeating Info fields as described in the following table. Click Menu, and then Save Record.

Repeating? |
Select this check box to make the component job a repeating component job. |
Repeat Unit |
This field determines the length of time before the component job repeats when it is set with the Repeat Interval field. |
Repeat Interval |
Set with Repeat Unit field, this field determines the length of time before the component job repeats. |
Repeat From |
This field has three possible settings:
- Scheduled Start. Starts the next iteration of the repeating component job after the interval period has elapsed. The interval period is calculated from the time indicated by the Scheduled Start field. For example, if the repeat interval is 5 minutes, the scheduled start time is 09:00, and the component job starts at 09:02, then the next component job is scheduled to start at 09:05. Using this setting might result in a backlog of component jobs that will be started if the actual start time is later than the scheduled start time.
- Actual Start. Starts the next iteration of the repeating component job after the interval period has elapsed. The interval period is calculated from the time the component job starts rather than the time indicated by the Scheduled Start field. For example, if the repeat interval is 5 minutes, the scheduled start time is 09:00, and the component job starts at 09:02, then the next component job is scheduled to start at 09:07.
- End. Starts the next iteration of the repeating component job after the previous component job ends and the repeat interval has elapsed. For example, if the repeat interval is 5 minutes, the scheduled start time is 09:00, the component job starts at 09:02, and the first component job ends at 09:04, then the next component job is scheduled to start at 09:09.
