Event Type
Use the Event Type feature to define how the event is started. The event types are as follows:
- Auto Start - the job will start each time the Enterprise server starts
- Notify Only - no task will be run just a message will be sent to the user set in the notification tab
- On Demand - use to set up a job that is started manually from this screen using the Submit button at the bottom of the screen
- One Time - a job that is set to only run once at a specified day and time
- Recurring - a job that runs regularly at a specified interval
- Triggered - a job that is triggered from some other job or a JDesignerPro client application.
Note that jobs can also be directly submitted to the Enterprise Server without first being configured in the Event Maintenance Screen. For more information on this see the API docs for the JDPRMIConnection class along with the server side examples of which several submit jobs to the server.
In the case of One Time and Recurring event types the following must be specified:
Occurs - Sets the frequency with which the task should occur.
For one time events:
When
Choose the date and time that this event should occur.For recurring events:
Daily
If you choose Daily, the Daily frame appears. Type the frequency of the task. (For example, 3 means the task will be executed every third day.) The default is Every 1 Day(s).
Weekly
If you choose Weekly, the Weekly frame appears. Type the week frequency for the task (For example, 3 means the task will be executed every third week). Then select the days on which the task should occur. The default is every 1 Week(s) on Sunday.
Monthly
If you choose Monthly, the Monthly frame appears. Select a specific day and month frequency or a specific day of the week and month frequency. (For example, you can create a task that executes the third day of every third month by selecting Day and typing 3 in the appropriate boxes. Or you can create a task that executes the third Monday of every month by selecting "The" and then choosing 3rd and Monday.)
Daily Frequency
Specifies how frequently the task should occur. Can be once at a specific time, or recurring every certain number of hours during a specified range of hours.
