Aim:
- Creating a Schedule
- Scheduling a file transferTransfers files from one computer to another. A particular Automation Engine object type (FileTransfer object).
- Using the Schedule MonitorGraphical view of the execution of Schedule objects.
So far, we have manually started our objects. As this is non-productive when a large number of objects are involved, we are now going to explain the functioning of the object typeAn individual object is provided for the individual activities: There are User, UserGroup, Notification, Cockpit, CodeTable, Documentation, Event, Agent, FileTransfer, Group, Include, Job, Workflow, Calendar, Login, Client, RemoteTaskManager, Schedule, Script, Server, Sync, Variable and TimeZone objects Schedule in close detail. Schedules start objects in a predetermined interval - every two days at 10.00 o'clock, for example.
One of our FileTransfer objects should be executed every day at a particular time. First, we create a Schedule objectIt starts executable objects periodically. A particular Automation Engine object type.:
In each Schedule, an interval must be indicated in which the assigned objects should start. This interval is also referred to as "period".
The Schedule tab displays this file transfer that has been planned for 6.00 p.m. (18:00 hours). You can also plan several objects in one Schedule object. Each of these objects then has its own start time. The execution interval, however, remains the same for all objects.
An object can be referred to as "Child" when it is activated by a superordinate taskThere are various ways of activating objects. The originator of the activation is referred to as the superordinate task (parent). - a "Parent". In our example, the FileTransfer object is the "Child" and the Schedule object is the "Parent". Other examples for superordinate tasks are workflows and groups which will be explained in later lessons.
The Schedule object is not yet active. Only active Schedules execute their objects:
The current statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). of tasks within the Schedule can be queried through a monitor:
The properties window of a planned task in the Schedule object can subsequently be opened with the command Properties using the context menu (right mouse button) in the Schedule tab. Enter your current time plus 2 minutes. Re-start the schedule and watch its execution in the Schedule Monitor. Then end the Schedule.
