Scheduling a job instance or a job template
You schedule a job according to whether you are scheduling a job instance or a job template, as follows:
To schedule a job instance or a job template:
- Click Jobs on the console menu bar.
- In the list frame under Defined Jobs, click the job you want to schedule.
- Click Schedule. The Job Schedule page appears. For example:
![]()
- Indicate the date on which you want the job to start, using the drop-down lists. Note that the Start Date is entered in a dd/mm/yyyy format.
- Indicate the time you want your job to start, using the drop-down lists.
- Choose the job's repeat interval from the drop-down list. The repeat interval options are:
- One time — The job runs once on the specified start date and time.
- At startup — The job runs once when the AdminServer and OpenEdge Management start. After running, the job is disabled until the next time the AdminServer restarts.
- Weekly from date — The job runs once a week, beginning on the specified date.
- Monthly from date — The job runs once a month, beginning on the specified date.
Keep in mind that these increments of 5, 15, 30, and 60 offer a relatively short run time for a job. Since the length of time it takes a job to run can vary, a set time in your schedule might be missed.- Every 5, 15, 30, 60 Minutes — The job runs every n minutes, beginning at the specified start date and time on the days chosen in the Include days list.
- Daily — The job runs once a day, beginning on the specified date.
- Determine which days to select from the Include days list. The choices in the Include days list are valid and enabled only for repeat intervals of every 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes and Daily. For all other repeat intervals, all days are active.
- If you want, enter a cron expression in the Cron expression field. For assistance in creating the cron expression, click Assist and choose the job specifics from the available calendars. For help specific to cron expressions, click Help.
- Select the Enabled option to enable the job's schedule.
- Click Save.
If you were to enable the schedule for the job shown in the previous example, the job would run:
