Creating a New Schedule

Set up a new schedule using the Runtime Manager from the Tools menu.

1. In the Runtime Manager, select Actions > Create. Alternatively, click Create a New Schedule from the toolbar.
2. Select the project or job to execute. If required, select a parameter set or specify the Rep CDC Instance Name needed for incremental loading. Click Next.
3. Enter the schedule details:

   • Enter the schedule name, which must be unique.

   • Provide the start date and time for the schedule.

   • Click Repeat Task to specify how often you want the task to be repeated. If you are using the Scheduler to set up a repeated task using a server that is running on UNIX, you must configure the .odbc.ini file on the UNIX machine to include a pointer to the repository data server.

   • Click Advanced to specify:

     • Execute new task concurrently (default) – allows running multiple instances of the task concurrently.

     • Execute new task sequentially – waits for completion of the current process before executing the new one.

     • Do not execute new task – continues processing the current task and ignores the request to start a new task.

     • Cancel the running task before executing new task – stops the current process and starts the new one.

     • The Stop the task after option terminates a task that has been running for more than the specified duration. By default, this option is disabled.

   • Provide the end date, after which the schedule is inactivated.

   • Specify how often you want the task to be executed:

     • Daily – at a specified day interval.

     • Weekly – at a specified week interval.

     • Monthly – at a specified time on a particular day of each selected month. Specify the days of the month, and select the appropriate calendar months.

     • Once – only once at a specified date and time.

     • At engine start-up – each time the engine starts.

   Click Next.

4. Click Finish when you see a message that the schedule is successfully created.
