Scheduling

Run Type Select the frequency at which the job should be run:

• Immediate—Runs the report immediately.

• 6 - hourly—Runs the report every 6 hours, starting from the specified time.

• 12 - hourly—Runs the report every 12 hours, starting from the specified time.

• Once—Runs the report once at the specified date and time.

• Daily—Runs daily at the specified time.

• Weekly—Runs weekly on the day of the week and at the specified time.

• Monthly— Runs monthly on the day of the month and at the specified time.

In the case of periodic jobs, the subsequent instances of jobs will run only after the earlier instance of the job is complete.

For example: If you have scheduled a daily job at 10:00 a.m. on November 1, the next instance of this job will run at 10:00 a.m. on November 2 only if the earlier instance of the November 1 job has completed. If the 10.00 a.m. November 1 job has not completed before 10:00 a.m. November 2, then the next job will start only at 10:00 a.m. on November 3.

If you select Immediate, the Date, Job Description, and E-mail option will be disabled for you. If you select any other run type, then you can specify the start date and time and also provide the job description (mandatory) and the e-mail ID for the notification after the report is generated. Date Select the start date using the calendar icon, to populate the Date field in the dd-mmm-yyyy

format, for example, 02-Dec-2004. This is a mandatory field.

The Date field is enabled only if you have selected an option other than Immediate in the Run Type field.
