IDOL Site Admin 23.3

# Schedule Actions

The Scheduler page in the Monitor section of IDOL Site Admin allows you to set up schedules to send specific actions (such as connector fetch tasks, or regular maintenance tasks) to a service at regular intervals.

The Controller component actions `AddSchedule`, `EditSchedule`, `GetSchedules`, `PauseSchedule`, `RemoveSchedule`, and `ResumeSchedule` perform these tasks. For information about these actions, see the Controller Reference.

1. Click New Schedule.

   The Add New Schedule dialog box opens.

2. Type a name for your schedule.
3. In the Host list, click the service for which you want to schedule the action.
4. Click an option to choose the type of action that you want to schedule. You can schedule ACI actions or Index actions.
5. In the Schedule Command field, type the action that you want to schedule.
6. If you want to add parameters to your scheduled action, click Add Parameter, then enter the parameter name and value. You can add as many parameters as you need. To remove a parameter, click - next to the parameter.
7. Click Next.
8. Click , then use the calendar and date sliders to choose the date and time at which the schedule should start to run. If you want to start your schedule from the current date and time, click Now.

10. In the Recurrence box, type or select the amount of time that must pass after a schedule has run before it runs again. You can set up schedules to run hourly, daily, or weekly.

The Scheduler page displays the following information for each schedule.

To search the list, type some text in the search box. The list of schedules refreshes to show only schedules that match the text that you entered.
