Create a schedule for certain operations to be performed
on the managed system without operator assistance.
Scheduled operations are helpful for situations where automatic,
delayed, or repetitious processing of system operations is necessary.
A scheduled operation is started at a specified time, without operator
assistance to perform the operation. A schedule can be set for one
operation or repeated many times.
For example, you could schedule power on or off operations for
a managed system.
The Scheduled Operations task displays the following information
for each operation:
- The processor that is the object of the operation.
- The scheduled date
- The scheduled time
- The operation
- The number of remaining repetitions
From the Scheduled Operations window you can do the following:
- Schedule an operation to run at a later time
- Define operations to repeat at regular intervals
- Delete a previously scheduled operation
- View details for a currently scheduled operation
- View scheduled operations within a specified time range
- Sort scheduled operations by date, operation, or managed system
You can schedule an operation to occur once or you can schedule
it to repeat. You must provide the time and date that you want the
operation to occur. If the you want the operation to repeat, you will
be asked to select the following:
- The day or days of the week that you want the operation to occur.
(optional)
- The interval, or time between each occurrence. (required)
- The total number of repetitions. (required)
