Submitting a Job: Specifying Schedule Information
Use the Schedule tab in the Submit Job dialog to specify the start time for a scheduled operation, and to specify the Scheduler responsible for starting it and monitoring feedback.
To specify the Schedule Information for a job:
1 In the Start date list, enter the date when you want the operation to start.
2 In the Start time field, enter the time at which you want the operation to start.
3 In the Host list, select the Scheduler which Vector AM can use to start and monitor the job.
4 Choose a schedule:
To
run the operation once at the specified time and date, select Run once only.
To
run the operation at regular intervals, select Repeat every and select the interval.
5 To prevent the Scheduler from running a repeat job at specific times or on specific days, deselect the intervals you want to exclude in the Start Control slots.
6 Select the Logging tab to continue.
Notes
Normally,
Schedulers start a job within 90 seconds of the specified start time. However, if the selected Host
is unavailable or already running at full capacity when a job is due to start, it will attempt to start
the outstanding job at the next available opportunity. To ensure that a job is restricted to specific
times or specific days, deselect the Start Control slots when the operation must not start.
If
a combination of repeat schedule and Start Control exclusions would prevent a job from ever running,
Vector AM attempts to find a schedule that will allow the job to run. Vector AM does this by incrementing
the job's start time by hourly intervals. When a valid slot is found, the scheduled start time is reset
accordingly.
Start
Control affects only the start time of a job. Excluded time slots have no effect on jobs that are
already running.
