Enabling a scheduled task

Edit online

You can enable a scheduled task to run according to the preset schedule.

About this task

You can select multiple scheduled tasks to enable.

When a task is initially created, it is put into a disabled state. The Enable command starts the task so that the timer begins running. The task executes based on the schedule that you set for it.

Follow these steps to enable one or more scheduled tasks:

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Copy Services Manager GUI as a user with administrator privileges.
  2. Click Settings > Scheduled Tasks.
  3. From the table, select the scheduled task or tasks that you want to enable.
  4. Click Actions > Enable Task. You then select from two options for when you want the task to run:
    1. Enable the task to run Now. The task will start immediately after you confirm at the next step.
    2. Or, enable the task to run At a specified time.
      Note: The At a specified time option is only available if the schedule that you selected was Hourly. If you selected Weekly or No Schedule, then only the run Now option is available.
  5. A warning message is displayed for confirmation. Click Yes to enable the task to either run now, or at the specified time. Click No to exit without enabling the task.
  6. If you click Yes, a message appears indicating that the selected task or tasks were enabled.

Results

The scheduled task or tasks are enabled, and start running according to the option that you selected, either immediately, or at the later time as indicated.
