This topic describes the New Scheduled Job window: Options page.

Fields

Special Execution Options
Delay execution on unavailable systems

If this option is selected, only target systems that are online at the time of execution will have the tasks performed on them when the scheduled tasks are executed. However, after all online target systems are marked as completed, the overall status for the execution of the job is changed to waiting for additional systems and the job will wait for the system to come back online to run. The overall status for the execution of job stays does not change to complete until all target systems have been placed in a completed or failed state. If this is a repeating job and there are target systems which have still not been run previously because they were offline, the overall status is changed to incomplete and a new execution is created when the scheduled repeat time occurs.

If this option is not selected, only target systems that are online at the time of execution will have the tasks performed on them when the scheduled task is executed. Any target system that is offline at the time the tasks are executed is assigned a status of unavailable. When all systems have been marked with a completed or unavailable status, the overall status for the execution of the job is changed from in progress to complete.

Execute on systems that are added to the target group

If this option is not selected, the scheduled tasks are performed on all systems that are part of the target group at the time of execution. Any systems that join the group later will not have the scheduled job performed on them.

If this option is enabled, any new systems added to the target group will be detected and the scheduled tasks will be executed. Selecting this optioncauses execution for a one-time job to have a status of waiting for additional systems until you explicitly cancel it. This option is selectable only if the target is a group of systems, not a single system, which you selected on the Targets tab.

If this is a repeating scheduled task, the next time the task is executed, any systems which have joined the target group since the last execution will then be included in the target group. Any systems that have been deleted from the target group since the last execution will not be included.

If this is a repeating scheduled task, the execution has a status of waiting for additional systems, until the next scheduled execution.

If a scheduled job is executing against a target group and a new system joins that group during the job's execution, this system will be added to the execution and will appear in the schedule log with the other systems.

註: If you create a new job and select this option and the Execute in client time zone option, the following behaviors occur if a new system is added to the target group while the job is executing:
  • The job is not executed against an added system if it is in a time zone that would have caused the job to have been executed already. If the scheduled job repeats, it will execute against the added system on the next scheduled date and time.
  • If the job execution is scheduled to repeat and a system is added in a time zone that would cause the job to execute immediately, the system is placed in pending status until the next scheduled job execution. If the scheduled job does not repeat, it is run against the added system immediately.
  • If a system is added in a time zone that causes the job to execute against it after it is added to the group, it is listed as pending and the job will execute against it at the specified time in that system's time zone.
Execute in client time zone
Checking this option causes the tasks to execute according to the time zone in which the target system resides.
註:
  1. You cannot create a job to repeat hourly and execute in the system's time zone.
  2. When you select a scheduled job to view its status, an execution history is displayed in the status pane for each repeat date. There are not separate execution histories for each time zone spanned.
  3. If the start date for the first scheduled time-zone occurs before the server date, the job cannot be created.
  4. Job activations that are delayed because their target systems are in later time zones are classified as pending, in the manner that jobs are classified until activated. Jobs spanning time zones remain in pending activation state until their activation time within their local time zones.
Execution History
Limit execution status to the last x job executions.
This option limits the number of job-execution records that are included in the scheduler log. The default is the last 5 job executions.
Delete execution status that is older than x days.
This option deletes from the scheduler log all execution-status records that are older than the specified number of days. The default value is 30 days.
Events
Generate an event when a job execution completes successfully
Causes an event to be generated only if this scheduled job completes with no errors. If the event is generated, an event criteria entry is added to the Event Type tab in the Event Filter Builder dialog for which you can define a filter and assign an event action.
Generate an event when a job execution completes with errors
Causes an event to be generated only if this scheduled job completes with errors. If the event is generated, an event criteria entry is added to the Event Type tab in the Event Filter Builder dialog for which you can define a filter and assign an event action.
Generate an event when a target system completes successfully
Causes an event to be generated each time this scheduled job completes on a target system with no errors. If the event is generated, an event criteria entry is added to the Event Type tab in the Event Filter Builder dialog for which you can define a filter and assign an event action.
Generate an event when a target system completes with errors
Causes an event to be generated each time this scheduled job completes on a target system with errors. If the event is generated, an event criteria entry is added to the Event Type tab in the Event Filter Builder dialog for which you can define a filter and assign an event action.
