Scheduler

Overview

The Scheduler is used to schedule Actions to be executed at preset times or intervals. Actions can be scheduled as follows:

• • Interval - Set the Interval in minutes

  • Weekly - Select the weekdays as well as the time that the Notification will be sent.

  • Monthly - Select the Day of the Month as well as the time that the Notification will be sent.

  • Yearly - Select the Month, Day of the Month and the Time that the Notification will be sent.

How the Scheduler works

Viewing Scheduler Records

Scheduler records can be viewed at any time without interrupting the Scheduler process. A Data Filter is provided to filter records. Options include:

• Type - Select a type of Action - Eg. Data Exchange, Email Notification, etc.

• Date - Filters on the scheduled (Due) date

• Active - Uncheck this checkbox to view historical records.

Start

When the Scheduler is Started or Restarted, the following happens.

• All scheduled (Active) Actions are deleted.

• New scheduled items are created and scheduled from current time - eg. for Intervals.

Stop

When the Scheduler is stopped, all the scheduled (Active) Actions are deleted.

Execute

When a scheduled Action is executed, the result is added to the BOS Server log and the Result and Time it was executed is added to the Scheduler record for reporting purposes.
