Scheduling a service or service set

Use the manager to schedule a test- or production-level service, or to schedule a service set that contains test- or production-level services. You can schedule the service to be run at a specific time or at a specific interval. If the service already has an active schedule, you can use the manager to change that schedule.

You can schedule a service only if the service is ready to run. If a service is not ready to run, Service Management contains details about what must be done to make the service ready to run.

You can schedule a service set only if all services in the service set are ready to run.

Only users with a user role of admin, designer, or operator can schedule a service or service set. To schedule a service or service set, a user must have access to the Service Management tab. If the service belongs to service groups, the user must have access to the service groups to which the service belongs.

To schedule a service or service set by using the manager:

  1. Access the manager on the application server.
  2. Click Service Management.
  3. Open the Services folder and click the service, or open the Service Sets folder and click the service set.
  4. Click Inputs and review the input values for the service.
    You can change the input values and click Save to save the changes.
    Any changes that you make to the input values are saved until you change the input values again.
    If you are scheduling a service set, you can change the input values of any of the services in the service set. These changes are made to the services themselves and not to the service set.
  5. Click Schedule.
    If the service or service set already has an active schedule, Schedule shows you the active schedule.
    If the service or service set does not have an active schedule, click Create Schedule.
  6. Enter or change the schedule details and click Save.
