Perform the following steps to create a schedule for a collaboration or a connector:
A new line entry with the name and type of the component is created in the Schedule window (for example ClarifyConnector (Connector)).
An enabled schedule is effective as soon as you click OK or Apply; a disabled schedule is immediately dormant until enabled. When a schedule is disabled, the Next Occurrence cell is blank to indicate there is no scheduled occurrence for this schedule item.
By default, the current date and time are set. Use the MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss format. A 12 or 24 hour clock is used, based on the Time format configured in the Preferences window (available from the Edit menu).
For example, the schedule for a connector is created in New York (select Eastern Standard time) and InterChange Server Express is located in Japan. InterChange Server Express uses this information to determine the local time for the schedule so it can run the job at the appropriate time.
If you do not enable the recurrence option, the Next occurrence field is blank and the schedule expires after it runs. Consistency checks are made to ensure that only one action is scheduled for a particular component on a given date and time. No checks are performed for scheduling conflicts.
When InterChange Server Express and components are geographically distant, there can be a slight delay. If you need to change the state of a component immediately, use System Monitor, rather than the scheduler, to start, stop, or pause a component.
