Job Scheduling in Data Management and Data Integration

As previously announced, the execution and scheduling of Data Management/Data Integration jobs can only be performed using the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console in this update. The old scheduling functionality in Data Management has been deprecated.

If you have not migrated any existing scheduled jobs (formerly run in Data Management) to the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console, you must use a new “Migrate Schedules to Platform Jobs Scheduler” utility to do so.

Applies to: Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, Planning, Tax Reporting

The new scheduling functionality is not available in Profitability and Cost Management and Account Reconciliation.

The EPM Platform Job Scheduler console is not available in Account Reconciliation. Account Reconciliation customers will need to automate any existing scheduled jobs in Data Management using EPM Automate or rest calls outside of Account Reconciliation.

Migrating Old Scheduled Jobs

To support the migration of all existing scheduled jobs in Data Management/Data Integration to the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console, a new migration script titled "Migrate Schedules to Platform Jobs Scheduler" is available from System Maintenance Tasks in Data Management or as an Integration Maintenance script in the EPM Platform Job Scheduler.

Business Benefit: Scheduling  Data Management jobs from the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console provides consistent scheduling functionality in EPM Cloud. Using the EPM Cloud job console, customers have a central access point from which they can select and manage scheduling parameters for ongoing jobs. Additionally, the EPM Platform Job Scheduler console provides enhanced functionality like the ability to view, edit, or delete schedules for each individual artifact.
