Job Scheduling

Job scheduling allows you to schedule a regular execution of a scenario. You can also add an optional condition that the scenario is executed only if a table (specified by source, space, and table name) was updated since the last execution of the scenario.

To manage schedules click on the Schedule section in the navigation tree. A job scheduling window that contains a list of schedules will open. Each schedule contains the following elements:

• Scenario name of the scenario to be executed.
• Cron expression which specifies when the scenario to be executed.
• Last executed date and time.
• The next three fields (Modified Source Name,Modified Space Name, Modified Table Name) allow you to specify a table that must be updated since the last execution of the scenario for the scenario to be executed. Leave these fields blank if you do not need to check for any updates. Modified Table Name can be a regular expression. In this case any of the tables whose names match the expression must be updated for the scenario to be executed.
