Scheduling a Batch Job

Some batch processes allow you to schedule a future one-time or recurring batch job.

By default, batch jobs generally run immediately (the Run Job field initially displays Now).
  1. To run the batch job at a future date:
    1. Click next to Scheduling.
      The Scheduling area expands.


    2. For Run Job, select Future.
    3. Specify a Start Date/Time.
      The default value is the current date and time. Click , then select a future date and time, and click OK.
  2. To make the job a recurring job, specify a Recurrence option:
    The default is None, indicating the job will not run on a recurring schedule.
    • Hourly
    • Daily
    • Weekly
    When you select a Recurrence option, specify how often to run in the Every field.
    Important: Once a recurring job is scheduled, it will run indefinitely. To cancel a recurring job, an authorized user must delete it from the xdSchedulingMonitor queue (in the Event Queue Definitions administration object).
