Scheduling Jobs

You can schedule when to run jobs (now or at a future time) and how often (once, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly).

To schedule jobs:

1. Click Application, then Jobs, and then click Schedule Jobs.
2. On the General tab, select a job.
3. Select when to run the job:

   • Run Now

   • Schedule starting from, and then select the date, time, and time zone.

     Note:

     To prevent automatic backup from failing due to certain jobs running during daily maintenance, EPM Cloud disallows certain jobs from starting while the daily maintenance process is running. If the system prevents a job from starting, the reason will be stated in the Job Details. If you've enabled email notifications for the Job Console, you'll receive an email notification when a job does not start. If you have a job that is scheduled to start during the daily maintenance process, it is recommended that you reschedule your job to start outside of the daily maintenance window.
4. Enter a Name for the job; for example, MyWeeklyCubeRefresh.

   In the job listing in the Jobs console, the name that you enter displays along with a system-generated job name; for example, MyWeeklyCubeRefresh: Refresh Database.

5. For Recurrence pattern, select how often to run the job:

   • Run Once

   • Daily

   • Weekly

   • Monthly

   • Yearly

6. Optional: To enter an end date, click the End Date checkbox, and then select the date and time.
7. Click Next to continue.
8. The Job Details page lists the operations that were saved as a job. Select a job, and click Next.
9. From the Review page, review your selections.

   • To continue, click Finish.

   • To make changes, click Previous.

   • To cancel the job, click Cancel.
