|
Limit Occurrences |
Relevant only when frequency of EVERY:x is used. If a Limit Occurrences value is entered, the process will run a maximum of times equal to the specified limit. |

Prevent start during nightly |
A flag which, when set to Y, indicates that this process is not to be started when the Nightly process is running. If the Scheduler tries to start a run while Nightly is running, the execution's status is set to Error with an Info message of "Nightly started running so can't run the process." |
Yes - Valid values are Y or N. |
|
Schedule Time |
Entering a time in this field causes the process to be scheduled at that time in case of a DAILY frequency or to start the first run at that time in case of an EVERY:x frequency. Leaving this field blank causes the process to run immediately or the first run to start immediately when the scheduler day starts. If a specific time is entered in this field but the scheduler day starts after that time, the process will be scheduled for the next day at that time. |
Yes - Enter a valid military time format such as 6:00 (6am) or 22:00 (10pm). |
