Schedule Tasks Configuration

The scheduler is a powerful tool which allows to create any kind of schedule in a simple way.

For this purpose, and with the simplicity in mind, the schedule creation has been designed to have three main options:

Repetitive schedules

Schedules that are launched every X time. We can choose the time between launches.

The repetitive schedule, as its name suggests, allows to create schedules to be launched every X time, where X is the time between one launches.

Depending on the time unit, other options will be available to help users to create advanced schedules.

But first, the next fields are common for all the possible options:

Option	Definition	Uso	Disables
Calendar	A holiday calendar to use for the current task, the task won't be launched in the dates contained by the calendar	Opcional	Execution date
From ^1	The start date / time for the current task schedule	Opcional	None
To ^2	The end date / time for the current task schedule	Opcional	None
Repeat each	The time between executions	Obligatorio	None

^1: If the From criterion is empty, the task will be launched first at the moment it's created.

^2: If the To criterion is empty, the task will be launched indefinitely until its configuration changes, or the task is removed.

One time Schedules

This kind of schedule will launch a task just once.

This schedule type launches a task only once, by creating a cron pattern with an specific date and time.

The available fields to create this kind of task are:

Option	Definition	Uso	Disables
Execution date	The launch date.	Obligatorio	None
Execution time	The launch time.	Obligatorio	None

Note: At least one of the two criterions need to be filled.

Custom schedules

The custom schedule allows to create every possible configuration the Quartz Scheduler can work with. The custom schedule configuration screen uses dependencies in order to help the user with the correct creation of the schedule by enabling / disabling criterions when needed.

The custom schedule offers all the available fields that can be customized to create the cron pattern.
