Before you can run custom cron tasks, you must create
a cron task instance. You can create numerous instances for a single
cron task, which allows you to fine-tune these tasks to your business
needs.
Before you begin
The cron task for which you are creating an instance must
have a FULL access. You cannot add new instances to cron task definitions
that with READONLY access or MODIFYONLY access.
About this task
When you create an instance, the cron task automatically
imports a group of associated parameters from the cron task definition.
You cannot add new parameters, but you can set parameter values and
schedules for each instance.
Procedure
- In the Cron Task Setup application, select the cron task
definition for which you want to create an instance.
- On the Cron Task tab, click New
Row.
- Specify a name and a schedule for the cron task instance. The date is shown as a string in the Schedule field.
Do not change the string in the Schedule field.
Click Set Schedule to change the schedule.
- Specify a user with the necessary privileges. The user
must have access for the actions that the cron task performs.
- Optional: Select the Active check
box.
- Save your changes.
- Select the Reload Request action.
- Select the instance, and click OK.
