CHAPTER 2 • JOB LIST PAGE

Figure 2.10 – Advanced Time Schedule

The Advanced tab specifies the job’s starting time as well as the starting/ending dates (see

Figure 2.10). If the box next to End Date is not checked, the job will run continuously. If

additional complex schedules are necessary, such as certain days of the week, there are also

daily, weekly or monthly interval options available.

Start Date – Lets you set the first date this job will execute.

End Date – Lets you select the last date this job will execute, if the box is checked. Un-

select to allow job to execute indefinitely.

Start Time – Lets you choose the time of day that sets the seed for the schedule. If the

start time is set to 1:20 p.m., and the repeat is every 10 minutes, then the job will ex-

ecute at 1:20 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and so on.

Delay – Lets you set the number of seconds to ignore successive file events. When a file

is created or modified, it can often require a significant amount of time to finish writing

the entire file. Each time more information is written to the file, the Windows operat-

ing system signals a new “file created” or “file modified” event. This delay is provided

to ensure that multiple tasks are not started for the same file change.

Repeat: Seconds – Lets you enter the number of seconds to wait between job execu-

tion start times.

Repeat: Minutes – Lets you enter the number of minutes to wait between job execu-

tion start times.

Repeat: Hours – Lets you enter the number of hours to wait between job execution

start times.

Repeat: Days – Lets you enter the number of days to wait between job execution start

times.

Repeat: Weeks – Lets you enter the number of weeks to wait between job execution

start times. Also select the days of the week to execute. If the week interval is set to 2,

and the selected days are Monday and Thursday, then the job will execute every two

weeks on Monday and Thursday at the selected start time.

Repeat: Months – Lets you choose between two modes: Monthly Interval or Selected

Months. If you want the job to run every other month, or every 6 months, then select
