Before you start
The Automated Task feature must be activated by Oracle
Support.
The Access Automated Tasks user
type permission is required.
Here's what to do
- Click New Task...
- Select the Templates option and
click Next
- The Permanently delete option is
selected, click Next.
- Select criteria to refine the deletion process. See Deleting Templates Criteria.
- Type the name and code of the task.
- Select the task status:
If you want the task to be activated when it is created,
select Active.
If you do not want the task to run when it is created,
select Inactive. A task whose status is Inactive will not run regardless
of its execution date or recurrence.
- To indicate the day on which you want the task to start
running, make a selection using the Calendar icon in the Task Execution Date section.
- Specify the recurrence of the task:
If you do not want the task to be run on a regular basis,
select No.
If you want the task to be run regularly, select Yes then
select a frequency from the list.
- Click Next.
- If the summary information is correct, click Finish.
The Summary page displays an estimated count if the task was
executed now. When you click the Count button, the system displays
a list of items matching the specified criteria. However, when the
system executes the deletion task, some items may actually not be
deleted due to other conditions being enforced by the system. For
example, requisitions having candidate submissions will not be deleted.
In such cases, if you clicked the Count button, the requisitions would
be displayed but the task would not delete them whenever it was run.
Results:
The automated task appears in the Automated Tasks page.
The automated task will permanently delete requisition templates,
leaving no trace of their existence in the database apart from each
template's database ID, job code, template title, and creation date,
which are displayed on the history page of each iteration of the task.

the History of an Automated Task).
