Create and schedule a task

Go to: Home > System Administration > OpsXG > Task Scheduler

1. On the General subtab, click Add.
2. If applicable, type the task Group the task is a part of.
3. Enter the task Name.

4. If necessary, enter a task Description.

5. Select the Enabled check box to enable the task to run, or leave it blank if you want to set up a task to run in the future.

6. Select how to Run the Task: by building and using a cron expression, specifying a fixed interval for the task to run, or when another task completes.

   • If you choose to use a cron expression to run the task, click the Build button to display the Cron Expression Builder. See Build a cron expression.
   • If you choose to use a fixed interval to run the task, indicate how often the task should run in the Run Every option (for example, every two hours). Use the Repeat Count option to indicate the length of time the task should run, either Indefinitely or for a certain amount of time (for example, five times).
   • If you choose to use when a task completes to run the task, select the Task Group (optional) and the Task Name (the task that should complete previous to your task starting). Select the Execution Delay check box and choose the time your task should begin relative to the previous task. For example, you could choose to have your task begin one hour after the previous task completes.

8. Click the Action subtab.

   

9. In the Action To Execute field, choose the action you're scheduling a task, for example, AutoArchiveTransactions.
10. If the action that you choose is associated with certain parameters, the Parameters table will display the appropriate parameters. Click in the Value next to the parameter to enter a value for that parameter.
    • For example, if you choose the AutoArchiveTransactions action, the ArchiveAfterXDays and the IncludeUnsuccessfulTransactions parameters display in the Parameters table. You might then enter a 10 for the Value of the first parameter and a Y for the Value of the second parameter. This indicates that you want the AutoArchiveTransactions action to archive files after 10 days and include unsuccessful transactions in the archive.
