Adding a Schedule to an Orchestration

Adding a schedule to an orchestration does not invoke the orchestration as scheduled. Starting the scheduler is a separate step. After you add a schedule, ask an administrator to start and administer the schedule using the Scheduler page. See, Working with Scheduler for more information.

Alternatively, you can use the REST API services to manage the schedules. For more information about REST API services for starting, stopping, and managing the Scheduler, see JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools REST API for the Application Interface Services Server Guide.

Note: In order to use the Scheduler with an orchestration, it must be a version 2 or version 3 orchestration. You can use the Orchestrator Studio 9.2.4.0 to migrate the version 1 and version 2 orchestrations to version 3 orchestration.

To add a schedule to an orchestration:

1. Access the orchestration to which you want to add a schedule.

2. In the canvas of the orchestration, click the Start node.

   The Orchestrator Studio displays the action control icons.

3. Click the Schedule icon.

4. On the Schedules dialog box, click the Select Schedules button.

5. Select a schedule from the components list.

   The selected schedule is added to the Schedules dialog box. You can edit or remove the schedule and then close the Schedules dialog box.

6. Click Save to save your changes.

Note: If the message "You don't have authority." is displayed while adding a schedule to an orchestration, check if your token has expired.

A scheduled orchestration may need specific inputs that are different from the default values when running the orchestration in other scenarios. Starting with Tools Release 9.2.7.2, you can override the inputs that are associated with the scheduled runs of an orchestration.

To override the defined inputs when an orchestration is running on a schedule, click the Start node and then click the Schedule icon. In the Inputs for Schedule section of the Schedule window, enter the input values in the Value field for the top level inputs (or leave the fields empty to use the default value if defined, shown in italics). If the input is an array, click the Array Inputs icon to set array inputs. You can also enable the Raw option to add inputs in the JSON format.

Click the Clear Input button to delete the overridden input values and reload the list with the currently defined inputs.
