Scheduling Automation Services jobs

After an Automation Services job is created in the installed Spotfire client, you can schedule the job in the Spotfire web administration pages.

Before you begin

You must belong to the Automation Services Users group.
The Automation Services job that you want to schedule must be saved in the Spotfire library.
You must have Browse + Access permission for the library folder that contains the Automation Services job.

For general information on this feature, see Automation Services job scheduling.

Log in to Spotfire Server and click Automation Services.
On the Scheduled jobs page, click Schedule a job.
In the Select automation job from library dialog, browse the library and double-click the Automation Services job that you want to schedule.

Tip: In the Automation Services Job Builder, open the job you want to schedule, and then click Tools > Manage Job Schedule.
Optional: On the Scheduled jobs page for a new or edited job, you can edit the name of the scheduled job in the Scheduled job name field. By default, the scheduled job name is the same as the Automation Services job name.
Click Add schedule and specify start and end date, the repetition pattern and which days to repeat. If necessary, change the time zone.

Note: You can only enter a time once in the Add schedule dialog. If you want to schedule the job to run twice (or more) on the same day, add additional schedules for the job.

For example, if you want a job to run every 6 hours on Mondays and Thursdays, for 4 weeks, add this schedule to the job:
Click Add schedule in the dialog.
When you have finished adding schedules, click Save.

The new scheduled job appears in the Scheduled jobs list, and will run on the scheduled day at the scheduled time.

Note: You can see the Next run information when you click Show preview.
