The Schedule Driver job starts or stops the driver based on an established schedule.
Make sure you’ve already added the job to the driver. If you haven’t, see Section 2.0, Adding a Predefined Job.
On the General tab in Identity Console (under Advanced > Jobs), configure the following options:
Enable job: Leave this option selected unless you don’t want the job to run.
Delete the job after the first run: Select this option if you want the job to run one time only and then be deleted.
Select the server(s) this job should run on: Select the servers where you want the job to run. Multiple servers are available only if the driver is running on multiple servers.
Email server: To monitor the job, you (or others) can receive e-mail notifications whenever certain results occur for the job. You configure e-mail notification on the Results tab. However, to enable this e-mail notification to work, you must first specify the e-mail server that will be used to send the notifications. Click the search button to locate and select the Default Notification Collection object or any other notfTemplateCollection object that defines an SMTP mail server.
Email server password: Set the password for your email server account.
Display name: Displays the name assigned to the job.
Description: Displays the description assigned to the job.
On the Schedule tab, select one of the following options:
Toggle to schedule job: Runs the job on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly schedule. You can also specify a custom schedule; use the crontab standard when specifying a custom schedule.
Toggle to run job manually: Runs the job only when you initiate it through the Run Now option (see Section 5.0, Starting a Job).
Ignore the Scope tab; it does not apply to the Schedule Driver job.
On the Parameters tab, select the type of action you want the job to perform:
Start the driver: Starts or restarts the driver.
Stop the driver: Stops the driver.
Toggle the driver: Starts the driver if it is stopped. Stops the driver if it is running.
On the Results tab, define the actions you want performed based on the results for the job.
Each time the job runs, it generates intermediate results and a final result. For each result, you can specify the action you want performed when it occurs. For more information, see Understanding the Different States of a Job.
Click the No action link next to the result to display the Result Notification dialog box.
Select Audit result if you want to generate an event for Novell Audit or Novell Sentinel.

Select Send email, then fill in the recipient and e-mail template information.
Click OK to save your changes.
When you have finished configuring the job, click the Save icon to save your changes.
Select the job in the list (by selecting the check box next to the job name), then click the Get Status icon.
The Job Status dialog box displays any configuration errors. Because the job requires rights to the driver object and those rights have not yet been granted, you see an Insufficient rights to driver object error.
Click Grant rights, then click OK to confirm the action.
If other errors are displayed, resolve the errors. Otherwise, click OK to close the Job Status dialog box.
