Rescheduling Jobs
Jobs displayed in the Scheduled Jobs window can be rescheduled by selecting the job entry and clicking the Reschedule icon in the Scheduled Jobs tool bar. This opens the Schedule Job window.
The Schedule Job window opens with the Run Now option enabled. Pressing the Ok button without making any change to the settings cause the job to be started immediately. The schedule for the job remains unchanged, but the job started when the Ok button is pressed.
Unchecking the Run Now option enables the date selection icon for selecting a job start date.
Click the date selection icon to select the date and time that you want the job to begin running. The Select time and date window open. Select the date and time of day that you want the job to start.
Next select the interval that you want to schedule the job to run. Select Once to run the job on the specified start date and then never run it again. Select Daily to run the job every day, Weekly to run once per week, and Monthly to run once per month. The job starts at the time of day selected for the start date.
Selecting the End Date option enables the date selection icon for selecting a job end date. Jobs scheduled with an interval other than once that does not have an end date continues to start at the prescribed interval indefinitely. Jobs having an end date runs at the specified interval until the end date is passed.
Finally select the logging level that you want to use when running the job. The log level determines the amount of information that is written to the job's log file when the job is run. The INFO level is selected by default.
The meaning of each log level is described in the following table.
Log Level | Description |
---|---|
ERROR |
Produces the least amount of log file output. This level should only be used if you have no interest in anything but failures. |
WARN |
Produces less output than INFO. Consider using this level if you are trying to keep the log file size down and are not interested in details of successful operations. Only failure information is reported. Messages about data that could not be copied or scanned are produced, but messages about successful a successful copy or scan are not produced. |
INFO |
The default level. This is the recommended log level. It produces a reasonably detailed amount of information about the job execution. Messages about the number of each data type copied or scanned is produced using this log level. |
DEBUG |
Produces a large amount of output. You typically should not use this level unless instructed by OpenSpirit support. Large numbers of program execution messages needed to diagnose problems are produced when this log level is used. |
ALL |
Produces a tremendous amount of output. This level should never be used unless instructed by OpenSpirit support. Volumes of very detailed program execution messages needed to diagnose difficult problems are produced when using this log level. This log level may produce multi-gigabyte log files. |
The Copy run command to clipboard button places the command used to run the job in the system clipboard. This can be used to either run the job manually, or to enter the job into a different job scheduling system. Use the paste feature of another application, such as Notepad or Microsoft Word, to obtain the command placed in the system clipboard by clicking this button.
Following is an example of the command used to run a copy job on Microsoft Windows. The 66dca794-56ce-43e1-ada3-f7a003e2a48d
portion of the command is an id that refers to the copy job definition stored in the OpenSpirit master installation's metadata repository. This id not valid when used with an OpenSpirit master installation that does not contain the copy job with this id.

Press the Ok button to save the schedule changes.
Saving a job schedule on Windows displays a prompt for your Windows account login password. The password is used to register the job with the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler. No password prompt appears when scheduling on Linux.
Enter your password and press the Ok button to schedule the job using the Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler. The password is not saved by OpenSpirit. The job should show the new schedule in the job list.
