1.6.2 Managing schedules

The schedule management features of JP1/AO allow you to suspend waiting tasks, resume suspended tasks, and cancel waiting or suspended tasks.

Suspending task schedules

You can suspend scheduled and recurring tasks that are in Waiting status.

Execution of the suspended task and generation of subsequent tasks are put on hold until you resume the task schedule.

Resuming task schedules

You can resume suspended tasks.

When you resume a task schedule, tasks that were suspended become executable again (by entering Waiting status) and are executed at the scheduled start time. If you resume a task after the scheduled start time, the task is executed immediately.

Canceling task schedules

You can cancel scheduled tasks that are waiting or being suspended, and cancel recurring tasks that are in Waiting status. Execution of the task and generation of subsequent tasks are canceled.

If you suspend or cancel the schedule of a recurring task in Waiting status, no further tasks are generated while the schedule is suspended. When you resume the schedule, tasks are executed at the scheduled start time.

The following figure shows how JP1/AO behaves when the schedule of a waiting recurring task is suspended, resumed, or canceled.
