Run or Schedule a Connector Job

You can run predefined connector jobs that import data from and export data to endpoint systems. Before you can run a connector job, you must define a connector.

Note: For more information about defining a connector, see the Configuration Guide.

To run or schedule a connector job

1. In the CA GovernanceMinder Portal, go to Administration, Universes.

   The Universes screen appears.

2. Click the link for the universe where you want to run the connector.
3. Click the Connectivity tab.
4. Select Import or Export.
5. Select the check box next to the connectors you want to run.
6. Do one of the following:
   • Click Import Now.

     The connector job begins immediately.

   • Click Schedule Selected.

     The Schedule Import Job screen appears. Complete the following fields:

     • First execution—Specifies the date and time at which the job is first run.
     • Additional repeats—Defines the number of times you want to run the job. Enter the value -1 to define an unending series.
     • Repeat interval—Defines the time period between executions in the series.
   • Click Schedule All

     All defined connectors are scheduled according to the values in the Schedule Import Job screen. Complete the following fields:

     • First execution—Specifies the date and time at which the job is first run.
     • Additional repeats—Defines the number of times you want to run the job. Enter the value -1 to define an unending series.
     • Repeat interval—Defines the time period between executions in the series

     Note: Schedule All always runs all connectors in a universe. So, if a connector is added after you schedule all connectors to run, CA GovernanceMinder includes the new connector in the next scheduled run.

7. Click Ok.

   The selected connectors are run or scheduled.

Note: To cancel a scheduled connector job, to go Administration, Job Scheduler and click Delete next to the job you want to cancel.
