2.5 Setting a schedule

The previous example in 2.2 Creating a job creates a job and runs it immediately. In addition to it, you can set a schedule to run a job at a desired time.

This example configures a job to run three minutes after the current time. You close the Job Design View after registering a job and wait until the job runs.

Procedure

1. In the Job Design View, click the Exec. on time tab.

   Select the job TEST01.

   

2. Click the (Edit) button.

   The Job exec. on time dialog box appears.

3. Specify the job execution time.

   Specify the execution time by adding three minutes to the current time. For example, specify 16:30 if the current time is 16:27.

   

4. Click the Register button.

   A message appears, asking whether you really want to overwrite the job.

5. Click the OK button.

   The Job Design View appears again. Wait until the time you specified in step 3.

   Check that the job displays a message dialog box containing the message hello! at the specified time (16:30 in this example).
