To specify a future time of day to the nearest half-hour, select the time drop-down list and choose the desired time, based on the 24-hour clock.
Alternatively, enter the time to the nearest minute using this syntax:
hour:minute
Hours and minutes must each be entered as two digits with leading zeroes for single-digits, using the 24-hour clock. For example, enter 4:17 AM as:
04:17
Repeats: Specifies whether the task performs once or recurs at periodic intervals as follows:
-
Interval Based: Allows you to set a repeat interval and count.
-
Only Occur Once: The task performs once only.
-
CRON Expression: Allows you to use a Linux-style cron expression to specify the recurrence period of the task.
Note: cron expressions must be configured according to the time zone of the FME Server that runs the task. All other times can be expressed according to your local time zone.
If Interval Based is specified, the schedule does not adjust when switching between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time.
Repeat Unit: Specifies the desired repeat interval, ranging from seconds to years. (Available only if you select Interval Based above.)
Interval: Specifies the frequency of the recurrence. (Available only if you select Interval Based above.) For example, a Repeat Unit of Day and Interval of 4 means every four days.
CRON: Specifies the recurrence period of the task, using a Linux-style cron expression.1Further information about cron expressions can be found at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRON_expression.
End Date: The date and time to end the task. A recurring task is performed at its recurrence frequency until this time is reached, at which point, the task ceases to perform and is removed from the Schedules table. Checking the Never box causes a recurring task to be repeated indefinitely. Unchecking the box allows a future end date and time to be specified.
End dates and times are specified as described in Adding a Scheduled Task.
Click OK to add the newly defined task to the Schedules table.
Example
The following example shows a recurring task entry in the table:
In this example, the task recurs every four days starting on 01-Feb-2016 at 8pm and ending on 01-March-2016 at 10am.
Enabling and Disabling Scheduled Tasks Directly From the Table View
You can suspend scheduled tasks when they are created or by modifying an existing task. Click the Enabled check box in the Editing Schedule or Create a New Schedule page. Alternatively, on the Schedules page, select the tasks you want to enable or disable (suspend), and click Enable or Disable.
