Scheduling a weekly object

When you schedule an object to run weekly, you choose the day of the week and the time when you want it to run. You can also schedule an object with events. For more information on events, see Scheduling an object with events.

To schedule a weekly object

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 Weekly option.

   The page refreshes.

   

4. In the Run list, select from the following:
   • Every week on

     When you select this option, the object will be run once a week, on the day that you select from the days of the week check boxes. You also specify a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date for the object 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.

   • Weekly, with events

     Choose this option to use the event or events that you have already defined. When you select this option, the object will be run once a week (along with events), on the day that you select from the days of the week check boxes. You also specify a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date for the object 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.
