Overview of Tivoli Directory Integrator Scheduler

Using the user interface in the Configuration Editor, you can create a Scheduler (click File ->New ->Scheduler) to run an AssemblyLine at the specified time. When the Tivoli Directory Integrator Server loads a configuration file, the defined schedulers are started by executing the ibmdisrv -c myconfig.xml -d command, where myconfig.xml is the exported configuration file containing the schedule. Stopping the Config Instance stops all the associated schedulers. From the Configuration Editor, you can start, stop, or pause the schedules by including them in a script as shown:

• main.startScheduler("mySchedule") - starts the schedule named mySchedule
• main.shutdownScheduler("mySchedule") - stops the schedule named mySchedule
• main.stopSchedulers() - stops all the schedules loaded

You can define the following two types of schedulers:

• Timer - used to start an AssemblyLine at the specified times
• KeepAlive - used to start an AssemblyLine when the Tivoli Directory Integrator Server starts and then restart the AssemblyLine whenever it stops

To restart or edit a Schedule, in the Navigator panel on the left side of the Configuration Editor window, double-click the Schedule to be edited under Project ->Resources ->Schedules.
