Scheduled Jobs

The Scheduled Jobs tool is used to view and manage scheduled copy and scan jobs. The Copy Job Manager and Scan Job Manager tools must be used to do the initial job scheduling. Jobs appear in the Scheduled Jobs window once they have been scheduled using the copy or scan tool. The Scheduled Jobs window opens automatically when a job is scheduled using the Copy Job Manager or Scan Job Manager tool. The Scheduled Jobs window can also be opened by clicking the Scheduled Jobs icon ScheduledJobsIcon.gif in the OpenSpirit Desktop tool bar or by choosing the Tools > Data Manager > Scheduled Jobs menu item.

OpenSpirit job scheduling is delegated to the computer's native job scheduler. Jobs scheduled on computers running a Microsoft Windows operating system are registered with the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler. Jobs scheduled on computers running a Linux operating system are registered with the Linux cron daemon. The native scheduler (Task Scheduler or cron) must be available on the computer you are using to schedule. The login account used to schedule OpenSpirit jobs must have the appropriate permissions to use the native scheduler. Check with your company's IT organization if you have problems accessing the native scheduler.

Note: OpenSpirit's use of your computer's native scheduler means that information about scheduled jobs is only available when running on the computer used to schedule the job and only when using the login account used to schedule the job. The list of Scheduled Jobs displayed by the Scheduled Jobs tool is read directly from your computer's native job scheduler.
Tip: Jobs scheduled using OpenSpirit can be changed or removed using the Windows Task Scheduler on Windows or cron commands on Linux. Also, scheduled jobs are not removed when uninstalling or upgrading your OpenSpirit Runtime. Upgrading your OpenSpirit Runtime may require removing jobs scheduled with earlier versions of OpenSpirit.
