1.1.3 Execution date/time and execution conditions

There are two ways to execute jobs. First, you can specify the date and time (for example, at 9:00 every day) to execute jobs. Second, you can specify triggers of events (for example, after a file is created) by which jobs are executed. Depending on this difference in when executions take place, jobs are classified into the following two types. Each of them has a different combination of items.

Job executed on time: A job runs on a scheduled date and time.
Job executed on event: Job execution is triggered by an event.

Figure 1‒4: Job types

Organization of this subsection

(1) Job executed on time
(2) Job executed on event

(1) Job executed on time

The jobs of this type are set to run on a given schedule.

You can set a job execution schedule with a combination of the execution date, execution time, and calendar items. For example, you can use items such as the execute everyday item or the execute in end of every month item. Once you register the job with such items, the job is repeatedly executed on automatically calculated dates and times. You can create multiple calendar items depending on your business operations.

(2) Job executed on event

For this type of job, you specify events to trigger job execution.

You can specify events to trigger execution as execution condition items.

The following five execution condition items are available:

Monitor file event
Monitor any event
Monitor the linkage from JP1AJS3^#
Event monitoring for receiving mail
Monitor Windows event

#: Settings are required to use the item. For details on how to set up, see 2.3.3 Configurations for the AJS3 linkage function, 3.3.1 Configurations of the message communication service, and 3.3.2 Setting up components for the AJS3 linkage function.
