Using server administration pages to schedule jobs

In the Automation Services area of the Spotfire web administration pages, you can schedule Automation Services jobs to run periodically. You can also monitor and troubleshoot the resulting job executions.

About this task

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.

Procedure

Open the Automation Services Job Builder.
Open the job you want to schedule, and then click Tools > Manage Job Schedule.
If you are logged in on the server, the Scheduled jobs page for the specific job will be opened directly. If you are not logged in, enter your credentials on the login screen, go to Automation Services > Scheduled jobs, click Schedule a job, then select the job you want to schedule from the Select automation job from library dialog and click OK.
Click Add schedule.
Select which days of the week to run the job, and at what time. If necessary, change the time zone.

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

Example If you want a job to run at 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM on Monday, and at noon on Wednesday and Friday, add these three schedules to the job:
Click Add schedule.
Click Save.

Results

The job is added to the list of Scheduled jobs and will run on the schedule you have specified.

Note: The Next run information for the job shows up in the Scheduled jobs list after you visit a different page of the interface.

Tip: Go to the Job activity page to view which jobs have run recently on the server.
