PPM has maintenance type tasks that you can run on a periodic schedule. By default, these tasks are scheduled to run according to a pre-assigned schedule. However, you can reschedule these tasks to run at times that better suit your organization's needs.
For each task, you can schedule:
- How often the task should run.
- The date and time when the next run should occur.
The Schedule Tasks dialog box lists the tasks. When you select a task, the schedule for that task, including when the task will next be run, appears to the right of the task list.
You can select multiple tasks to assign a common schedule to those selected tasks. If you select multiple tasks, the only schedule information that appears, is that which is common to all the selected tasks.
When the Schedule Tasks application starts, the schedule is checked to determine which tasks need to run.
The following table lists the default schedule for the various PPM tasks.
