Creating a Schedule

Create a schedule to define how often an orchestration or notification runs.

To create a schedule:

  1. On the Orchestrator Studio Home page, click the Schedules icon.

    The Orchestrator Studio displays the Schedules design page.

  2. Click the New button on the Schedules side panel.

  3. In the Schedules design page, enter a name for the schedule in the Name field.

  4. Click the Product Code drop-down list to select a product code to associate with the schedule.

    This gives an administrator the option to manage UDO security for orchestration components by product code.

  5. In the Description field, enter a short description with a maximum of 200 characters. This description should clearly describe the frequency of the schedule so that it can be attached to notification as needed.

  6. Click the Edit Long Description button to add a long description to provide more detail about the purpose of the component.

  7. Do one of the following:

    • In the Schedule to Run every section, select a number of minutes, hours, or days to define how often you want the schedule to run.

      If you select minutes, you cannot run more often than every five minutes.

    • In the Or Enter a Cron String section, enter a Cron string to define the schedule.

      Cron is a time-based job scheduler that can be used to schedule jobs to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals (for example, every Friday at 10:00 am). There are many third-party Cron expression generators available that can help you create a Cron string.

  8. Click the Save or Save As icon in the upper-right corner.

The first time a new schedule is saved, it is saved as a "Personal" UDO. Thereafter, you can use the UDO buttons described in the User Defined Object (UDO) Features section to move the schedule to the appropriate status.

Adding a schedule to a notification in the Notification design page does not invoke the notification as scheduled. Starting the scheduler is a separate step. You need to ask an administrator to start and administer the schedule using REST API services.

Starting with Tool 9.2.4, you can use the Scheduler user interface to manage the scheduled notification and orchestration jobs. You can start and stop the jobs using the Scheduler user interface in the Orchestrator Studio 9.2.4. See Working with Scheduler for more information.

For more information on REST APIs used for managing the scheduler, see "Scheduler Service" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools REST API for the Application Interface Services Server Guide
