How to Run or Schedule a Job to Run › Run or Schedule Jobs to Run

Run or Schedule Jobs to Run

The Available Jobs page list all jobs that a user or administrator can access and can run immediately or can schedule it to run later. The report type is the user view of the report or job definition. Each available job has one corresponding definition and one job type.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Home, and from Personal, click Reports and Jobs.
2. Open the Jobs menu, and click Available Jobs.
3. Click the name of the job you want to run or schedule.
4. Complete the requested information. The following sections require explanation:

   General

   Edit the job name. For scheduled runs, you can change the name to distinguish each instance of a run. For submitted scheduled job entries, a read-only job ID and status are displayed.

   Parameters

   Set the parameters as desired. This section appears only if your CA Clarity PPM administrator defined the parameters. Click Save Parameters to save the defined set of parameters for reuse. The saved parameters display in the list on the Available Jobs list page below the job type from which it is based.

   When

   Defines the interval at which the job runs. Select Scheduled to run the job later. To run the job at a recurring time, click the Set Recurrence link.

   You can also set the recurrence of a scheduled job using the UNIX crontab. To use crontab, select Use UNIX Crontab Entry Format and enter the schedule. For example:

   0 0 1,15 * *

   means run the job at midnight on the 1st and 15th of every month.

   You can use the crontab option on Windows, Linux, and Unix operating systems where the CA Clarity PPM instance is running. When you use this option, the scheduled configuration takes the server system time where the CA Clarity PPM instance is running.

   Note: For more information about the UNIX Crontab format and special character usage, see the Oracle Documentation.
