Figure 2.10 – Advanced Time Schedule
The Advanced tab specifies the job’s starting time as well as the starting/ending dates (see
Figure 2.10). If the box next to End Date is not checked, the job will run continuously. If
additional complex schedules are necessary, such as certain days of the week, there are also
daily, weekly or monthly interval options available.
˽
Start Date – Lets you set the first date this job will execute.
˽
End Date – Lets you select the last date this job will execute, if the box is checked. Un-
select to allow job to execute indefinitely.
˽
Start Time – Lets you choose the time of day that sets the seed for the schedule. If the
start time is set to 1:20 p.m., and the repeat is every 10 minutes, then the job will ex-
ecute at 1:20 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and so on.
˽
Delay – Lets you set the number of seconds to ignore successive file events. When a file
is created or modified, it can often require a significant amount of time to finish writing
the entire file. Each time more information is written to the file, the Windows operat-
ing system signals a new “file created” or “file modified” event. This delay is provided
to ensure that multiple tasks are not started for the same file change.
