 Creating Schedules

Schedules start executable objects in predetermined intervals.

Procedure

  1. Click the button  in the toolbar and a window listing all the available object types opens. Select type Schedule (JSCH).
  2. Assign a suitable name and open the Schedule object. Click the Notification tab
  3. The setting "Period" can be used to determine the intervals in which the scheduled tasks should be processed. The period change defines the time for a new period to start.
  4. The Schedule tab lists all objects that will be started via the Schedule. Objects can be added by dragging them from the Explorer and dropping them to the tab or by selecting the corresponding command from the Schedule's context menu. The properties window opens automatically. There are various ways of configuring the task's execution in its tabs. Automic recommends specifying the start time in any case - the predetermined default time is 00:00. Use the other settings in accordance with your requirements.
  5. You can also use the Runtime tab settings in order to monitor the Schedule's execution.
  6. AE Script elements can be stored in the Process tab.
  7. Activate the Schedule object. Only active Schedules can start their assigned tasks.

There are numerous other possible settings that can be specified in the Schedule object. Details are found in the documentation about the individual tabs.
