CHAPTER 76
Scheduling Jobs
This chapter provides information about activating BPS and scheduling jobs.
You can schedule bulk transactions and specify a time when they need to start these transactions. All jobs
that are submitted through the Bulk Administration menu in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration, queue up on the Bulk Provisioning Service (BPS). Depending on the start time specified for
a job, the transaction starts running. If no start time is mentioned, the transactions execute in the order that
they are received.
