The image below shows the scheduler panel with no
scheduling entries.
The button labelled 'Add New' when clicked will display
a dialog containing a script editing panel that has
been designed to assist with the creation of scheduling
scripts. The scheduling grammar is discussed in more
detail in the writing
scripts section, as well as the calendar,
triggers and tasks
sections. The image below shows the script editor panel.
Once your script is complete, in order to deploy the
schedule to the server, you need to click on the 'OK'
button. Once clicked, if there are any errors or problems
with the script, you will be presented with a dialog
similar to the image below.
If the script does not contain any errors, the script
editor panel will close and the new scheduler script
will then appear within the scheduler table. Clicking
on the newly created scheduler within the table will
enable you to delete, vew and edit the schedule. The
image below shows the newly created scheduler script
once selected. There are 4 scheduler panels available
for each scheduler selected from the table. Each panel
is represented by a tab on the bottom half of the main
scheduler panel. Each of these panels is discussed below.
Script Editor Panel
The script editor panel is denoted by the tab labelled
'Script Editor' and provides the same editor view found
when you first add a new script. This panel is a simple
editor pane that enables you to modify the scheduler
triggers and tasks. The image below shows this panel
selected from the available tabs.
Initial Tasks Panel
The initial tasks panel is denoted by the tab labelled
'Initial Tasks' and represents those tasks defined within
the initilisatio section of the scheduler script. Each
initial task is represented as a row in a table with
3 columns. Column 1 labelled 'Task' is the task
object. Column 2 labelled 'Function / Object' represents
the details of the task, fo example, if the task was
to purge a channel, column 2 would show 'purge'. Column
3 labelled 'Parameter' shows any parameters listed in
the scheduler script for the given task. The image below
shows an example of the Initial Tasks tab being selected.
Triggered Tasks
The triggered tasks panel is denoted by the 'Triggered
Tasks' tab. This panel displays those tasks that are
triggered based on some conditional triggers. Each conditional
trigger is shown as a row in the the table within this
panel. Selecting a trigger from this table will then
display the tasks to be executed when this trigger is
fired. Each task is shown in a table similar to that
found in the Initial Tasks panel. The image below shows
the triggered tasks panel being selected.
Calendar Tasks
The final panel is the calendar tasks panel and is
denoted by the 'Calendar Tasks' tab. This panel shows
the tasks that are scheduled to run at specific times.
Each calendar task is shown as a row within a table.
This table has a total of 11 columns. The first 2 columns
show the frequency and time. The frequency is either
'Hourly', 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthly' or 'Yearly' and
the time is spefified as HH:MM. For hourly schedules,
the HH (hours) will be displayed as XX which denotes
every hour.
Columns 3 to 9 reprsent which days of the week the
task will run, starting from Monday ('Mo'). A green
circle means the task will run on that day. The last
2 columns represent the Day and Month the task will
run.
Selecting one of the rows in the table will display
the actual tasks that will be executed in a similar
table to that found in the triggered tasks panel. The
image below shows the calendar tasks panel with a task
selected.
Any changes made to the schedule within the script
editor panel can either be deployed to the realm server
by clicking on the 'Apply Changes' button or discarded
by clicking on the 'Undo Changes' button.
Schedule entries can be deleted from the server by
selecting them from the main scheduler table and clicking
on the 'Delete' button. |
