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
-
In the Job Design View, click the Exec. on time tab.
Select the job TEST01.
-
Click the
(Edit) button.
The Job exec. on time dialog box appears.
-
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.
-
Click the Register button.
A message appears, asking whether you really want to overwrite the job.
-
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).
