When
you are moving your new concurrent programs to production instance, you may
have to schedule them based on the requirement.
In
this blog post we will see how to schedule a concurrent program and the
different ways involved in it:
In this
example we will schedule the concurrent program – “Workflow Background Process”.
1. Go to System
Administrator responsibility
2. Navigate to Menu
option view -> Requests, submit a new concurrent program
3. Submit the
concurrent program – “Workflow Background Process”
4. Provide all the
required input parameters for the concurrent program
5. The default value
of the program submission is – “Run the Job: As Soon as Possible”, means the
program will be submitted immediately as when the program is submitted
6. If you want to
schedule the program use any one of the following options.
a. Once
We need to provide the
date when the program has to run
b. Periodically
· Provide the Start
date and End date. Eg:- program has to run from 01-Jan-2013 to
31-Dec-2013
· Provide the Re-run
every option. Eg:- if we want the program to run once in every month
then in the above period input – 1 Month(s)
· Apply the Interval. Say the program
starts as 01-JAN-2013 00:00:00 & ends at 01-JAN-2013 06:00:00. (i.e., it
took 6 hrs. to complete). So do you want the next Interval (Say, run every
12hrs) to start from.
§ If you want the next
interval to start from 01-JAN-2013 12:00:00 then select – “From the Start of
the prior run”
§ If you want the next
interval to start from 01-JAN-2013 18:00:00 then select – “From the Completion
of the prior run”
c. On Specific Days
· If you want the
program to run on a specific days in a month provide the details here.
· If you want the
program to run on specific days in a week provide the details under – Days of
Every Week
