15.0 Scheduling Jobs
Designer has a job scheduling utility to schedule events, such as setting the system to disable an account on a specific day, or initiating a workflow to request an extension for a person’s access to a corporate resource. You can use it to do the following tasks:
-
Create a Job object from an installed job definition.
-
Define when a job is to run, which servers the job is to run on, the scope of the job in terms of eDirectory objects, and the job reports for intermediate and final results.
-
Set values for the job’s parameters, its description, and display name.
-
Enable or disable a job, manually start a job, stop a job that is running, and display a list of running jobs.
