      For descriptions of the job parameters and variables, see the following topics:

      For information about creating a Pipeline definition, see Using the Pipeline in Administering Data Integration for Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud.

  5. Under When do you want to run this job?, 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 failure due to scheduled jobs, EPM Cloud disallows certain scheduled jobs to start 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. For information about daily maintenance operations and scheduling the maintenance start time for an environment, see Managing Daily Maintenance in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators.
  6. Under How often do you want to run this job?, set the job recurrence, as follows:
    • 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.

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

      • Hourly
