To set up schedules

1. Open the Category component configuration file in a text editor.

2. Create an `[AnalysisScheduleN]` section for each schedule that you want to run. Start numbering the `[AnalysisScheduleN]` sections from zero (so that the first schedule section is `[AnalysisSchedule0]`). For example:

       [AnalysisSchedule0]
       [AnalysisSchedule1]
       [AnalysisSchedule2]
       [AnalysisSchedule3]
       [AnalysisSchedule4]
       [AnalysisSchedule5]

   In this example six schedules were created. Note that the schedules are listed in consecutive order, starting from zero.

3. Specify the settings for each schedule in the appropriate section. You can specify the action to schedule, the interval in which each schedule runs, the number of times each schedule runs, what job name to give the action, and so on. For example:

       [AnalysisSchedule0]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=ClusterSnapshot
       TargetJobName=myjob

       [AnalysisSchedule1]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=ClusterCluster
       SourceJobName=myjob
       TargetJobName=myjob_clusters
       DoMapping=True

       [AnalysisSchedule2]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=ClusterCluster
       SourceJobName=myjob
       TargetJobName=myjob_clusters_new
       WhatsNew=True
       Interval=86400

       [AnalysisSchedule3]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=ClusterSGDataGen
       Interval=604800
       SourceJobName=myjob
       TargetJobName=myjob_sg

       [AnalysisSchedule4]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=ClusterSGDataGen
       Interval=86400
       SourceJobName=myjob_content
       TargetJobName=compare_snapshots_sg

       [AnalysisSchedule5]
       ScheduleStartTime=now
       ScheduleInterval=1 day
       ScheduleCycles=1
       ScheduleAction=TaxonomyGenerate
       Cluster=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
       SourceJobName=myjob_clusters
       TargetJobName=myjob_taxonomy
       WriteTaxonomy=true
       NumResults=25

4. Save and close the configuration file.

5. Restart the Category component for your changes to take effect.

TIP: As an alternative to setting up schedules in the configuration file, you can also use the Category Queue page in the Control section of Knowledge Discovery Admin to schedule ClusterSnapshot, ClusterCluster, ClusterSGDataGen, and TaxonomyGenerate actions. For more information, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Admin User Guide.
