A BPEL process may be created to perform routine maintenance or another recurring task. If desired, you can deploy the process and then set a schedule to run it, such as weekly or on a specific day of the month. You can set a fine-grained schedule (intraday, seconds), if desired.
The following image shows the Process Schedules page:

In a clustered environment, one of the nodes acts as a scheduling master at any time. Scheduled processes are elected to run only on the schedule master node. The schedule node is elected based on the server that starts up first. Only if there is a drop in the Secure Agent cluster communications do other nodes choose to get elected as the schedule master. Also Process Server does not maintain a history of the execution of scheduled processes.
To create a scheduled process, click the Create Schedule link at the top of the page. Process Server displays a dialog box that is described in Creating a New Process Schedule.
