Manage Job Schedules

Use a Scheduling page to set, modify, or discontinue schedules on which jobs run.

• Some jobs are listed by default in the Scheduling page. In general, these are jobs that apply broadly, such as those related to security synchronization, notifications, or transaction data synchronization. You can create schedules for these jobs in the Scheduling page.
• In other cases, you create a schedule in the page that a job applies to. For example, you set a schedule to run advanced controls from the Controls page of the Advanced Controls work area. Once the schedule for one of these jobs is set, a record of it appears in the Scheduling page, where you can review or work with it.

No matter whether you're setting or changing a schedule:

1. Select the Scheduling tab in the Setup and Administration work area.

2. Select the row that represents a schedule, then click the Edit icon.

3. In a Schedule Parameters dialog box, do either of the following:

   • Enter values that determine when the schedule starts, how regularly the job runs, and when (if at all) the schedule expires. Then click the Reschedule button. The new schedule is then in force.

   • Click the Cancel Schedule button. The job is no longer scheduled to be run. Its row is removed from the Scheduling page if it's one of the jobs originally scheduled in another page.

Note: You can modify the schedules of the Security Synchronization and Report Synchronization jobs, but you can't cancel them. You're expected not to modify the schedule for the predefined Access Certification Synchronization job.

In addition to scheduling jobs, you can run them on demand. From the Scheduling page, click the row representing a job schedule, and click Run Now. This runs the job immediately, but doesn't affect the schedule. The job runs again when its schedule next determines that it should.
