You can create schedules to run tasks or taskflows at specified times or at regular intervals. You can also define a blackout period during which scheduled tasks or jobs do not run.
Create schedules and configure blackout periods on the Schedules page in Administrator. After you create a schedule, you can associate it with tasks and taskflows in another service such as Data Integration.
When you create a schedule, you specify the date and time. You can configure a schedule to run associated assets throughout the day between 12:00 a.m. and 11:55 p.m. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services might add a small schedule offset to the start time, end time, and all other time configurations. As a result, scheduled tasks and taskflows might start later than expected. For example, you configure a schedule to run hourly until noon, and the schedule offset for your organization is 10 seconds. Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services extends the end time for the schedule to 12:00:10 p.m., and the last hourly task or taskflow starts at 12:00:10 p.m. To see the schedule offset for your organization, check the Schedule Offset organization property for the Data Integration Service.
You can perform the following tasks with schedules:
Associate a schedule with a task or taskflow
To associate a schedule with a task or taskflow, edit the task or taskflow. For example, to associate a schedule with a mapping task, edit the mapping task in Data Integration, and select the schedule on the Schedules page.
When you copy a task or taskflow that includes a schedule, the schedule is not associated with the new asset. To associate a schedule with the new asset, edit the asset.
Monitor scheduled tasks
You can monitor scheduled tasks from the All Jobs page in Monitor. Scheduled tasks do not appear on the My Jobs page.
Export a schedule
You can export a schedule from your organization and import it into another organization. Export a schedule on the Schedules page. If the schedule is associated with a task or taskflow, the task or taskflow is not included in the export file.
Delete a schedule
Delete a schedule on the Schedules page in Administrator.
Note: You cannot delete a schedule that is used in a task or taskflow. Remove the schedule from all tasks and taskflows before you delete the schedule.
