Scheduler Configuration dialog box

The Scheduler Configuration dialog box is used to schedule the interval at which an application performs a task. For example, the interval at which an Archiver application polls the output queue for documents and metadata ready to be archived. Or the interval at which a Task Scheduler application performs a system command task.

You can set a single interval, or create more complex schedules.

If you specify a stop time (or end time), all ongoing tasks will continue until they are finished, even if the stop time is passed.

If a new task is scheduled to start before an on-going task has completed, the application first finalizes the ongoing task before the new task is started.
