Cron tasks are behind-the-scene jobs that run automatically
and on a fixed schedule. You can create or change cron tasks.
Creating cron task definitions
A cron task definition consists of a name, class name,
access level, and description. You can create cron task definitions
to meet the specific needs of your organization.
Deleting cron task definitions
Cron tasks have a definition that includes name, class
name, access level, and description. In the Cron Task Setup application,
you can delete cron task definitions that you are no longer using.
Working with instances of cron tasks
You can create multiple instances for each cron task. You
can also reload instances of cron tasks, and you can delete instances
of cron tasks.
Disabling cron tasks on an application server
Active cron tasks run on all application servers in a sequence.
In a multi-server environment, you can disable an instance on one
or more servers or server clusters. The ReorderCronTask and the PMWoGenCronTask
are process-intensive. If the system server is also the corporate
print server, you can disable these two cron tasks to reduce the workload
of the server.
Viewing hidden cron tasks
READONLY cron tasks are hidden. If necessary, you can view
these hidden cron tasks.
