Scheduling Jobs to Run Later

To schedule jobs to run later:

  1. From the Jobs console, click one of the following tabs:

    • Import Export
    • App Maintenance
    • Integration

  2. Click the checkbox next to a job to select it.

  3. With a job selected, click Actions icon in the Actions column.

  4. In the Schedule Jobs dialog box, under Run Job, select Schedule.

    Option Description

    Name

    Enter a name for this instance of the scheduled job. This doesn't have to be the job name that was originally assigned when the job was created. For example, you can enter a name that reflects your scheduling requirement. Suppose you are scheduling an instance of a job that was originally named Refresh Database when it was created. You can name this instance of the scheduled job MyWeeklyCubeRefresh.

    After you schedule this job, the name you specify is listed in the Jobs console with a system-generated name; such as MyWeeklyCubeRefresh : Refresh Database, where MyWeeklyCubeRefresh is the name that you entered for the scheduled job and Refresh Database is the name that you originally defined during the job creation.

    Time Zone

    Select the time zone in which to run the job from the drop-down.
    Schedule Start

    Enter a starting date and time.
    Schedule End

    If you are scheduling a recurring job, enter an ending date and time.

    Recurrence Pattern

    Specify the frequency with which to run the job:

    • Once: The job will run once at the starting date and time.

    • Daily: The job will run at the starting date and time and continue to run each day until the end date and time.

    • Minutes: Set the Frequency in Minutes for 15 or 30 minutes. The job will start running in 15 or 30 minutes and continue to run at the selected frequency until the ending date and time For example, if you set the job to run every 15 minutes and the starting time is 3:15, the job will start to run at 3:30, then 3:45, and so on. Jobs cannot be scheduled to run in increments smaller than 15 minutes.

    • Hourly: See Scheduling Hourly Jobs.

    • Weekly: Select the day(s) of the week on which the job will run. The job will run at the starting date and time and continue to run each week until the end date and time.

    • Monthly: Select a time interval to run the job each month. The job will run at the starting date and time and continue to run each month thereafter until the end date and time.

    • Yearly: Select a time interval torun the job each year. The job will run at the starting date and time and continue to run each year thereafter until the end date and time.

Note:

  • If you're running import or export jobs, you can run up to five jobs at one time.

  • For export jobs, you can specify a unique output file name for each job. From the jobs list, click Edit next to the selected job and specify the output file name with a zip extension. The unique file name you specify will override the default export file name when the job runs.
