Scheduling automation scripts to run as part of cron tasks

Run cron tasks on a fixed schedule to automate jobs such as processing escalations and ensuring critical tasks complete on time. You can use several predefined cron tasks and you can also define new cron tasks. For new cron tasks, you must provide a Java™ class implementation that contains the business logic that is executed on a schedule.

About this task

Automation scripts support new cron tasks by providing the com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.script.ScriptCrontask Java class. By using this Java class reference in your cron task definition, you can attach an automation script that provides the business logic that is executed by the cron task.
