Scheduled Time
Date: Date that jobs associated to this schedule start running. To schedule a job to start running today, specify a date in the past.
Time: Time that jobs associated to this schedule start running.
Occurs Every: If selected, jobs associated to this schedule run for the specified frequency. For example, to run a job multiple times each day, select this check box and then specify the interval (for example, 15 minutes, 12 Hours). If cleared, jobs associated to this schedule run once each day.
Never Between: If selected, Job Manager prevents jobs associated to this schedule from running between the specified start and end times. This setting is useful when you don't want processing to occur during certain work hours. If cleared, Job Manager doesn't prevent the scheduled from running during a certain time period.
Recurrence Pattern
Daily: If selected, jobs associated to this schedule run on the specified days of the week.
Monthly: If selected, jobs associated to this schedule run once each month on the specified day of the month. The available days do not extend beyond 28. To capture month-end data for months with more than 28 days, select the first day of the month so that Job Manager includes the days beyond the 28th of the month.
