The following diagram shows the flow of creating a Schedule Definition for an Automated Operation Process.
An outline of the tasks shown in this diagram is given below.
Registering a holiday calendar and Schedule Pattern
To set a schedule using the holiday and startup day patterns, create and then register the following in advance:
A holiday calendar that is commonly used by Management Servers.
Schedule Patterns used commonly in the Management Server, or the startup day pattern used commonly in the Automated Operation Process Group.
Creating a Schedule Definition
Create a Schedule Definition for automatically executing an Automated Operation Process at a pre-determined date and time.
Set up a Schedule Definition for an Automated Operation Process by selecting the holiday calendar and Schedule Pattern you want to use from those that have been registered already or by setting up a startup day directly. You can also set up startup time by directly selecting a time or setting an interval to create a Schedule Definition.
If there are multiple Schedule Definitions scheduled to start at the same time, the Management Server will start process instances in batches of 30, in the order in which the Schedule Definitions were registered. If there are more than 30 Schedule Definitions set for the same time, the additional Schedule Definitions will start once the first 30 process instances are "executing".
Accordingly, some of the process instances scheduled for the same time may start later than the scheduled startup time.
Checking the monthly schedule
Check the date for execution of the Automated Operation Process using the Schedule Definition in the monthly calendar.
Checking the schedule and daily performance
For the Automated Operation Process in the process group, check the scheduled execution time and the actual execution performance time using the Schedule Definition in the daily list.
The scheduled and actual execution for one day can be checked using a Gantt chart, so the execution status for the automated operation can be determined.
Checking or modifying the Schedule Definition
Check or modify as required the Schedule Definition that has already been registered.
