Scheduling a service or service set

Use the manager to schedule a service that has been published to the registry, or to schedule a service set. You can schedule the service to be run at a specific time or at a specific interval. If the service already has an active schedule for a management server, you can use the manager to change that schedule.

You can schedule only services that have been published to the registry. You cannot schedule services that are being developed in the designer.

You can schedule a service that has been published to the registry only if the service is ready to run. A service that is ready to run meets the following criteria:
  • The service is assigned to a management server that is active and connected to the manager. If a license is required to run a service, the management server must also contain a valid license for the service.
  • The service is assigned to a proxy that is active and connected to the manager and the management server. The proxy must also be able to run the service type associated with the service. For service types Executor and Distributed, the service execution component must be installed and configured, and the proxy must be configured to run the service execution component.
  • The database driver that is specified in the service is loaded into the repository.

You can schedule a service set only if all services in the service set are ready to run.

Only users with a user role of admin, dba, designer, or operator can schedule a service or service set. To schedule a service or service set, a user must have access to the Service Management tab. If the service belongs to service groups, the user must have access to the service groups to which the service belongs.

A service or service set can have a schedule for each management server.

To schedule a service or service set by using the manager:

  1. Access the manager on the application server.
  2. Click Service Management.
  3. Open the Services folder and click the service, or open the Service Sets folder and click the service set.
  4. Click Service Plan and review the service plan properties. You can change the service plan properties and click Save to save the changes. Changes to the service plan are saved until you change the service plan again or until you restore the service plan to its default values. If you are scheduling a service set, you can change the service plan properties of any of the services in the service set. These changes are made to the services themselves and not to the service set.
  5. Click Service Schedule. If the service or service set already has an active schedule for the selected management server, the wizard shows you the active schedule. If the service or service set does not have an active schedule for the selected management server, click Create Schedule.
  6. Enter or change the schedule details and click Save.
