How to Schedule and Repeat a Remote Execution Job?
You can schedule a job up to one year ahead. Additionally, you can make jobs recurring on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
- Under Recurrence, choose how frequently you want to repeat the job:
- One-time - No recurrence: the job will run only once.
- Repeat daily: the job will run every day at the same time until the end date. For example, you can schedule the job to run every day at 4 AM starting tomorrow until the end date.
- Repeat weekly: the job will run at the same time every week until the end date. For example, you can schedule the first run at 4 AM today and select to run the job at 4 AM on Mondays and Fridays until the end date.
Remember: You can select multiple days of the week.
. - Repeat monthly: the job will run at the same time on a given day of the month that you select. For example, you can schedule a job to run at 4 AM on the second Thursday of every month until the end date.
Remember: You can select only one day of the month.
Note:- Jobs run in the timezone of the selected remote device; therefore, in your local time, the same job may run at different times on different devices.
- When you set recurrence, your job will run at least twice: on the start date and on the end date.
Results: You can see your scheduled jobs on the Job history tab of the page.
