It is possible to set up a schedule to perform retention-related tasks at times that are more convenient for your environment. This chapter discusses scheduling tasks which can be performed at a later time. It covers the following topics:
Concepts
Tasks
Important: If jobs were scheduled in previous versions of this product, those jobs must be rescheduled. Schedule times and frequency are not automatically assigned when the product is updated. |
Some of the tasks performed may involve large sets of content. Tasks such as processing retention assignments, performing archives, or customizing metadata may interfere with normal daily operations or put a heavy load on the system, which is undesirable during regular business hours.
With the scheduling feature tasks can be set to be performed at a later time, during off-peak times on the system. Freezes can also be scheduled to be performed at specific times. For details about creating and using freezes, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Setup Guide for Universal Records Management.
See "Updating Information" for details about viewing scheduled updates and searches.
The following changes have been made to scheduling from previous versions of this product:
Dispositions can no longer be scheduled and will be removed from any schedule after upgrading. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Setup Guide for Universal Records Management for details about dispositions.
Scheduled freezes are migrated but they are not functional if the search engine type was changed (for example, from database to Oracle Text Search).
Scheduled screening reports are migrated but they must be modified to use the correct query and the correct report template. If a template is not chosen a default template is used.
Scheduled freeze notifications are not rescheduled after upgrading. The notifications should be resubmitted.
This section discusses the following scheduling tasks:
