How to schedule a Job?

The Schedule view is found within the Administration tab on the left navigation pane. This module tracks the jobs that are scheduled and submitted to run on a particular date and time in OvalEdge. Jobs can be scheduled within the Crawler page when crawling and profiling the database or schema and within the Job Workflow screen. 

The list of schedules include:

• Schedule Description: Gives the schedule description of what tasks are scheduled to perform.
• Cron Entry: Displays the date and time the task is scheduled to run. A Cron job is a scheduled task by itself. Cron jobs can be helpful to automate workflow to run at a scheduled time. 

• Next execution: The next schedule of the task can be shown.

• User: Username who scheduled this task to run.
• Change date: The last date when any modifications were made on this scheduled task in the selected Time Zone.
• Active: Whether this task is active/inactive. (Active=1, Inactive=0)
• Class Name: The location where this job was generated.
