Scheduling an hourly or daily cache refresh means that information is fetched from the enterprise information server (EIS) and populated into the cache on either of these hourly or daily frequencies according to the schedule and range of time you configure.
The Schedule tab in the Cache Property dialog displays options appropriate for configuring this type of schedule.
- Select either Hourly or Daily as the Schedule Repeat criteria.
- (Optional) If you want to set a range to control which days the schedule refresh runs, configure a start date and time, an end date and time, or day of week (if applicable).
- Select Start Date to set a date for which the first execution of the scheduled refresh is performed. To be more specific, you can also select Start Time to specify a start time. In this case, the refresh cannot begin until a given time on a given day has been reached. A start date and time are inclusive.
If you do not set a start date and time, then, by default, the date and time that Unwired Server starts is used.
- Select End Date to set a date that ends the repeating refresh transactions for a package. To be more specific, you can also select End Time to specify an end time. An end date and time are exclusive. This means that a refresh transaction runs up to, but does not include, the end time. For example, if a schedule has a start time of 13:00 and an end time of 16:00 and repeats every hour, it runs at 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00, but not at 16:00.
If you do not set an end date and time, then, by default, the date and time that Unwired Server stops is used.
- Select Specify Week Days to select the days of the week that the refresh transaction runs. This means that for the days you select, the refresh runs every week on the day or days you specify. A weekday is inclusive. This means that any day you choose is included in the frequency. All others are excluded.
When the schedule expires, the automatic refresh you configured terminates, unless the end user initiates a refresh.
- Click Save.
