ClosedTo schedule a job
  1. In the Add New Job area, type a unique ID for the job.
  2. Type a Name for the job.
  3. [Optional] In the Comment field, type a description for the job.
  4. To enable the job to execute upon next scheduled time, Enable the job.
  5. If the job should be completed, even if one or more commands fail to execute, set Fail-Continue to Yes.

  6. Set the schedule of the job. Jobs can be set to run Once, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Periodically.

    • Once: Set the time and date when this job should be executed.
    • Daily: Set the time that this job will execute every day.
    • Weekly: Set the time and the day of the week that this job will execute.
    • Monthly: Set the time of day, how frequently it recurs measured in intervals of months, and the day of the month. The day of the month is specified as 1 through 28 (E.g. March 23 would have a day of the month as 23), or the day of the month can be specified as -1 through -28, where it counts from the last day of the month (E.g. March 31 would have a day of the month as -1 and March 23 could be -9.)
    • Periodic: Set the start time and date and how frequently it recurs as an interval. Start time is specified as HH:MM:SS, start date is entered as YYY/MM/DD, interval is entered as 2h3m4s.
  7. After selecting the schedule of the job, specify the parameters for the schedule. For example, set the time, date, interval, or day-of-the-week when the job runs.

  8. In the Commands field, type the necessary commands for the job you want run. Each command must be on a new line.

    For scheduled pre-population jobs, leave the commands field blank. When creating the pre-population object, specify this scheduled job. The CLI for the pre-population object will automatically populate this commands field.

  9. Click Add Job.

    The job is added to the list, and is now available for selection in the Pre-population Object, if desired.
