Schedules

You can schedule a DTM task to run once at a particular time or periodically according to the parameters that you specify.

The Schedule Details window enables you to view information about the schedule associated with an existing DTM job. If this job is a current job, you can also modify the schedule.

To access the Schedule Details window:

  1. In the Current Jobs or Past Jobs table, click a Job ID for a DTM job.
  2. In the Job Details window, click the Properties tab.
  3. In the Schedule section, click Modify.

To specify a schedule for a DTM job:

  1. From the Begin the task list, select On a schedule or At startup.

    If you select At Startup, you can skip the rest of these steps.

  2. Select the frequency with which this job should run: once, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly.
  3. If you selected a frequency other than “once,” specify the Every information to define the recurrence interval for this job.
  4. Specify the Start Date for the job.
  5. If you want to stop initiating new job executions for this job on a certain date, select the check box to the left of the End Date field, and specify the end date.
  6. Specify the Start Time for the job.
  7. If you want to stop initiating new job executions for this job at a certain time, select the check box to the left of the End Time field, and specify the end time.
  8. If you want the job to start at a randomized time between your Start Time and End Time, select the Randomize Start Time box.
