Migrating Schedules Best Practices

The following are best practices when migrating scheduling jobs:

  1. Execute the migrate schedule job in Preview mode. Review the process log to understand how the schedules will be migrated.

  2. When satisfied with the details of a migrated schedule job run in Preview, take a Data Management snapshot of the Setup Data only.

    For more information, see Executing a Snapshot Export Job.

  3. Execute the Migrate Schedule process and set the Delete Old Schedules to No.

  4. Review the newly created schedules.

  5. If there are issues with the newly created schedules, delete the invalid schedules from the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console.

    When any unrecoverable errors occur, restore the Data Management snapshot and execute the migration again.

  6. Fix the appropriate source schedules and rerun the process.

  7. If everything looks OK, run the Migrate Schedule by setting the Delete Old Schedule option to Yes.

    Run the Delete Old Schedule option before the first scheduled job is supposed to execute.
