Schedules

Schedules, when combined with a calendar, allow you to execute your workflow automatically on pre-defined days and times. A calendar defines a collection of days and a schedule defines the frequency within a given day. For example, a calendar would specify that a workflow run every Thursday and the schedule would specify that the workflow run every hour.

Note: Only a schedule can be used as a trigger. You cannot use a calendar to trigger a workflow on its own, it must be part of a schedule.


Configuration

Under the Schedules section of SecureX orchestration, you can see existing schedules and create new ones. To create a new schedule:

  1. Provide a meaningful Display Name.
  2. Select the Calendar you want the schedule to use. Remember, calendars are collections of days and schedules define how often something happens within a day.
  3. Select a Timezone. The schedule will run relative to this timezone and the default is UTC.
  4. Provide the schedule itself. Samples can be found here.
  5. Click Submit.

Note: If the start time for a schedule has already passed, it may not run until that start time occurs again. So, if you schedule a workflow to start at midnight and then run every hour, it may not start running until midnight has passed. To start a workflow running on a schedule immediately, start the workflow at a time closer to the current time (being mindful of the timezone).
