To Schedule a Job

A similar Scheduler window is used for defining schedules for module loading and enabling, group-related jobs, alarm monitoring, and Discovery requests.

Steps

1. To set this job to begin on a day other than today, type a date in the Start Date field.

   To select a date from the calendar, click the date. To change the month, use the left and right arrows at the top of the calendar.

2. Select an hour and minutes from the Start Time menu.

   Hours are based on a 24–hour clock. For example, 16:00 is the same as 4:00 PM.

   Note –

   You cannot schedule two jobs with MCP configuration tasks at the same time. If you are scheduling a job with an MCP configuration task, make sure the scheduled time is different from any previously scheduled jobs with MCP configuration tasks. If you schedule two jobs for the same time, the job scheduled first is executed. The second job scheduled for the same time is ignored.

3. (Optional) Choose how often the action should occur from the Repeat Interval menu.

   You can schedule a task to occur more than once. For example, to schedule a task to run weekly, you would select Weekly.

   Note –

   Repeat Interval values differ by scheduling activity.

4. (Optional) Select an appropriate time reference from the Repeat Interval menu. Then, type a number in the Repeat Interval field.

   You can run the action for a specific number of repeated intervals. For example, to run a task for the next two months, select Months from the Repeat Interval menu and type 2 in the Repeat Interval field.

   Note –

   Some time intervals, such as Weekly, do not allow you to specify Repeat Intervals. In those cases, you cannot type a value in the Repeat Interval field.
