Timer Triggers
Time triggers allow you to schedule jobs to start at a specific time and run for a specific time interval. Time triggers have flexible recurring options: e.g., they can be set to run daily, weekly, on specific days of the week or month. The screenshot below illustrates a sample timer trigger.
The parameters of a timer trigger are described below.
Run | Defines whether the trigger should fire once or every N number of days. The following options are available: Once, daily, on days of week, on days of months, on days in weeks of months.
|
Repeat | Defines the Repeat options of the trigger. The repeat events occur on days specified in the Run drop-down list (see previous parameter). The every field defines the repeat frequency in minutes. The from and to fields define the time range between repeat events.
|
Start | Defines the trigger's starting date and time. This is an optional field. When you click in the date field, a pop-up calendar opens, which allows you to select the start date. You can also type in the date manually.
|
Expires | Defines the date and time when the trigger expires.
|
Time zone | Defines the time zone of the start and expiry date and time. The default time zone is defined in the server administration settings.
|
Enabled | The Enabled check box allows you to enable or disable the trigger.
