Scheduling an object to run once

This option enables you to schedule an object to run once, whether it is run immediately, or at a specific time. You can also schedule an object with events. For detailed information on applying events, see Scheduling an object with events.

To schedule an object to run once

1. In the Objects management area of the CMC, select an object by clicking its link.
2. Click the Schedule tab.

   The Schedule tab appears.

3. Select the Once option.

   The page refreshes.

   

4. In the Run list, select from the following:
   • Now

     If you select this option, the object will be run immediately.

   • Now, with events

     Choose this option to use the event or events that you have already defined.

   • At a specific time

     Select a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date in the End Date area. To select a date, you can either enter a date in the date field, or click the Popup Calendar button to select a date from the calendar that appears in a separate window.

   • At a specific time, with events

     Choose this option to use the event or events that you have already defined. Select a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date in the End Date area. To select a date, you can either enter a date in the date field, or click the Popup Calendar button to select a date from the calendar that appears in a separate window.

5. Regardless of which option you select from the Run list, complete the following fields:
   • Number of retries allowed

     This number indicates the number of times a job server will attempt to process an object if the first attempt is not successful. By default, the number is zero.

   • Retry interval in seconds

     Crystal Enterprise will wait for the specified number of seconds to pass before attempting to process an object again (if the first attempt failed). The default setting is 1800 seconds.

6. Click Schedule to schedule the object.
7. To update the default scheduling information, click Update.

   If you don't click Update, any changes you made to the scheduling information are not saved after this instance.
