Setting | Indicates... |
Start Date | The date on which you want the server to execute the service for the first time. Use the format YYYY/MM/DD to specify the date. If you leave this field blank, the server executes the task at the first date specified by the remaining settings. |
Start Time | The time at which you want the server to begin executing the service. Use the format HH:MM:SS to specify the time (using a 24-hour clock). If you leave this field blank, the server uses the current time. |
End Date | The date on which you want the server to execute the service for the last time. Use the format YYYY/MM/DD to specify the date. If you leave this field blank, the server executes the service for an indefinite period of time or until you cancel the scheduled user task. |
End Time | The time on the last date at which you want the server to execute the service. Use the format HH:MM:SS to specify the time (using a 24-hour clock). If you leave this field blank, the server uses the current time. |
Repeating/ Repeat after Completion | Whether Integration Server should wait for the previous execution of a service to complete before starting the next. Note: Integration Server does not count half-finished service executions as completed tasks. If a task fails before completing, Integration Server considers that task as overdue. The next execution of the task depends on whatever action is set for the If the Task is Overdue option. For more information, see Scheduling a User Task If you want Integration Server to wait for a service to complete execution before it starts the next scheduled execution of the service, check this box. For example, suppose the GetData service is scheduled to run every minute, but sometimes takes longer than that to complete. By default, the Integration Server will start the next execution even though the previous one has not yet completed. If you check the Repeat after completion box, Integration Server will wait for the service to complete before running the next execution of the service. Executions that could not run while the service was executing are delayed. |
Run Mask | Specific months, days (1-31), days (Sunday-Saturday), hours, and minutes you want the service to run. You can select one or more items from each category. To select multiple items, press the Ctrl key while making your selections. If you do not select any items from a category, Integration Server assumes all items for the selection. For example, if you do not specify a month, Integration Server assumes you want the service to execute every month. If you do not select any items for any of the settings, the Integration Server assumes you want the service to execute every month, every day, all week days, every hour, and every minute; in other words, the service runs every minute from the time you add the task. |
