Scheduled Job Properties

This page allows you to assign the general controls used by Advanced Job Scheduler for scheduling jobs.

  • You can specify if an Application is required for each submitted job. This option cannot be selected if there are existing jobs that do not contain an application. For more information, see Creating and working with application controls and job controls.
  • You can specify whether to base periodic frequency on start time of the job. When checked, jobs that are scheduled to run periodically base the next run time on the start time. For instance, a job is to run every 30 minutes, starting at 8:00 am. (For a job to run around the clock, you would also specify 7:59 am as the ending time.) The job runs for a total of 20 minutes. With this field checked, the job would run at 8:00 am, 8:30 am, 9:00 am, and so on. If this field is not checked, the job would run at 8:00 am, 8:50 am, 9:40 am, 10:30 am, and so on.
  • You can specify if you want held jobs to be reset. When this option is checked, jobs that are held and have a schedule contain a next scheduled date and time to show when the job would have run if it were not held. There is a possible performance increase for the job monitor if the box is not checked. This consideration is especially true for those jobs that are held and are scheduled to run periodically.
  • You can specify if the job scheduled date and time is reset after a change. When checked, jobs are reset any time the properties of a job are displayed and the OK button is used. This behavior occurs true even if nothing was changed. When this box is not checked, the schedule of a job has to change before the job is reset. Resetting a job recalculates the next scheduled date and time for that job.
  • You can specify the start time of day. The time of day that you consider starts a new day. All jobs that specify to use this time of day have their job date changed to the previous day if the time the job starts is before the Start Time of Day. For instance, the Start Time of Day is 6:00 AM and a job that uses the Start Time of Day is submitted on November 12, 2013 at 11:00 PM. If the job starts after midnight and before 6:00 AM the job date of the job will be changed to November 12, 2013.
