Use the Schedules panel to create schedules with which to
start workflows or run reports.
You select the workflow to start directly through the Schedules
panel. You schedule reports by creating a workflow that runs a
given report, and then through the workflow interface set a
schedule executing the workflow. Reports can be run automatically
or periodically, and can be scheduled to run as such.
A schedule cannot be configured to run more than once per day.
Even if the schedule has been modified, it will run only once a
day.
NOTE: If a schedule
is set to run at a certain time or for X number of occurrences, and
the system goes down, ALM will pick up the schedule from the time
the system is brought back up without making up the missed
occurrences.
To create a schedule
In the navigation pane, click the Process tab
and open the Schedules panel.
Create a folder for the new schedule or use an
existing folder.
Right-click the folder you want to contain the view
and click New schedule.
Give the new schedule a name and double-click
it.
Select a start time for schedule from the drop-down
list.
(optional) Type a description of the schedule.
In the Recurrence pattern box, select how
often the schedule repeats (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or
Yearly). Select the options that are associated with the frequency
of the schedule. If you pick Month and the date doesn't
exist in all months (for example, 31) , the task will only run in
months that have that date.
In the Range of recurrence box, select a start
date, then select an end option. You can select No end date
(the schedule will recur indefinitely), End after a
specified number of occurrences, or End by a specified
date.
Select a workflow to start when the schedule
conditions are met. Click the ellipsis [...] button, select
the workflow you want from the tree view and click
Insert.
Click Save
.
NOTE: When you
configure a schedule to run every 15 days, the schedule resets
every month, so it will run on the 1st and the 16th of each new
month. Likewise, when you configure a schedule to run every four
months, the schedule resets every year; so it will run in January,
then May, then September of each new year.
