4 Configuring the Scheduler Tasks

When an application's batch schedule is initially seeded in POM, Scheduler tasks are created for each of the different Nightly, Recurring, and Standalone cycles. An administrator would then access the Scheduler Administration screen to configure the execution schedule for all available tasks according to customer's needs.

A scheduler task can be configured with one of many frequencies:

Frequency	Description
DAILY	Run daily at the specified time
WEEKLY	Run every <day of a week> at the specified time
ONCE	Run once at a specified date and time
MONTHLY	Run on a monthly basis. For example, on the 15th of each month at a specified time
MONTHLY_START	Runs at the beginning of a month
MONTHLY_END	Runs at the end of a month

The Standalone (or Adhoc) cycle supports a recurrence within each of the above frequencies.

Recurrence	Description
SINGLE	Will run just once at the time defined on the frequency
MULTIPLE	Will run multiple times at regular intervals starting at the time defined on the frequency

The following restrictions are enforced on scheduler task frequencies:

• Recurring cycle supports only Daily frequency.

• Nightly cycle supports only Daily and Weekly frequencies and no recurrence.

• When Nightly is set up with Weekly frequency, it needs to be set up for every day of the week. This is due to the fact that when Nightly completes for a certain day, it sets up the schedule for the next business day that cannot be skipped.

Refer to the Scheduler Administration section of the POM User Guide for additional details on configuring Scheduler Tasks.
