Scheduler Tasks

The basic unit of work within the Scheduler, is the Scheduler Task. By default , when a Batch Schedule is seeded or patched in POM, Scheduler tasks are automatically created by the system for the following batch entities.

  • A Task for the Nightly Flow.

  • A Task for each Flow on every Hourly Cycle.

  • A Task for every spreadsheet seeded invoke-able (Flow or Process) batch entity on the Standalone Cycle.

Note:

No Scheduler tasks are created automatically for custom batch entities created through the Batch Administration screen’s Create Custom Entities feature

Scheduler tasks are created by the system and cannot be removed unless their corresponding invoke-ables are removed.

Similar to Batch Jobs, the Scheduler Task metadata is kept separate from actual Scheduler Task instances. The configuration of a Scheduler Task is considered its metadata or definition, and is used at the creation of the New Scheduler Day to create a Scheduler Task instance that can run for the current Scheduler Day. Within the POM schema, a separate table stores the definition for each task defined for a Schedule.

The Scheduler Task configuration is accessible from the Scheduler Administration screen within POM. Refer to the Scheduler Administration section of the POM User Guide for additional details on how to configure Scheduler Tasks.
