Scheduling a task
Default time for scheduling a task is 60 minutes.
Procedure 222 Scheduling a task
1. Select a tool from the menu. For more information, see Creating a task.
2. In the Task name field, enter a unique name for the task.
3. Under the When would you like this task to run? section, select one of the following options:
• Periodically
Select from intervals of minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months. With periodic scheduling,
you can configure the task to run until a certain date and time or to execute only a set
number of times. Periodic scheduling allows time filters to be applied. These filters specify
the hours of the day when a scheduled task can operate. For more information about
time filters, see Applying a time filter.
NOTE: If you want to schedule a task to run once a month on the 31st of the month
and the month has only 30 days, the task will run on the 1st day of the following month.
• Once
Specify the date and time the task is to run.
• When new systems or events are added to the collection
This option is only available if you select a Collection of Systems or Events as your target.
The task runs only when new systems or events meet the collection criteria. You can also
apply a time filter to this type of scheduling. For more information about time filters, see
Applying a time filter.
• When systems or events are removed form the collection
This option is almost identical to the previous option, except that the task runs only when
systems contained in the Collection of Systems or Events no longer meet the collection
criteria. A time filter can be applied to this type of scheduling. For more information about
time filters, see Applying a time filter.
• Not Scheduled
This option specifies that the task runs only when manually executed by a user with
appropriate privileges. This task never runs automatically. Tasks can be manually run
from the All Scheduled Tasks page or the CLI
