Create and Edit Schedules

Before you schedule a job, create a schedule that defines when the job runs. Jobs can run one time or at an interval. You can schedule jobs when you create the schedule or you can add jobs to the schedule later.
You can select a time zone when you configure the date and time to run the schedule. By default, when you enter a start time for a schedule, the time zone is the time zone of your client machine. If the Data Integration Service runs on a machine in a different time zone from the client, you need to ensure that the job runs at a specific time for that time zone. You can choose the time zone when you define the schedule.
You can schedule deployed mappings and workflows including mappings and workflows for profiles and scorecards. Optionally, you can configure a parameter file or parameter set for the job. Configure a parameter file or set when you want to run the deployed mapping or workflow with different settings. If the Scheduler Service runs on multiple nodes, you must store the parameter file in a directory that all of the nodes can access. Configure the directory in the Storage Properties for the Scheduler Service.
Optionally, you can configure the Run As User property for the job. You might configure the property if you need to schedule an object that you do not have permission on. When you configure the Run As User property, you run the job as a user in the domain who has permission on the object.
After you create a schedule, you can edit the schedule. When you edit a schedule, you can change the recurrence options, schedule jobs, or change the job parameters.
