Cron task setup overview
You can reschedule cron tasks and change parameter values
without stopping and restarting the server. You can create cron tasks
and cron task instances, remove cron tasks or cron task instances,
and change cron task parameters.
Preexisting cron tasks
There are cron tasks that are supplied by the product and are set up to run scheduled jobs on the system server. Cron tasks are behind-the-scene jobs that run automatically and on a fixed schedule.
Access levels for cron tasks
Access levels determine what users can do when they are using the Cron Task Setup application.
Cron task parameters
The cron task class file lists parameters. Parameter tables store parameter values for cron task instances.
Instances of cron tasks
An instance is a copy of a cron task that you can change to meet your business needs. You can create multiple instances for each cron task.
Owner and Issuer for cron task instance
You might want to set different owner and issuer for different cron task instances. For example, some user wants to have issuer as <varname>saml</varname> and owner as <varname>scim</varname> and others want to have issuer as <varname>saml</varname> and owner as <varname>local </varname> to be able to manage users.
