Scheduling

Scheduling is the most common means of running an integration.

This screen holds the settings that apply to every schedule at once: whether the scheduler runs at all, the hours in which it is allowed to launch jobs, and how long the history of what it did is kept.

Every setting other than the grid takes effect as soon as you change it. These settings have no Save button, and a setting that fails to save reverts on screen. The Scheduler Active Times grid is the exception and has its own Save and Cancel.

Pause Schedules

Select Pause Schedules to stop all scheduled tasks, including any Run Now tasks.

When you deselect it, the schedules run again. IMan does not trigger any schedule that fell due while the schedules were paused.

Scheduler Active Times

The grid sets the hours in which the scheduler is allowed to launch jobs. Green cells are active; dark cells are blackout windows, when the scheduler will not launch anything.

Each day is divided into quarter-hour cells, and each number along the top labels four cells. A blackout can start and end on any quarter hour.

To change the pattern:

• Click a cell to toggle it, or drag across cells to paint a block.
• Click an hour heading to toggle that hour on every day, or a day name to toggle the whole of that day.
• Click the top-left cell to toggle the entire week.

Then press Save to apply the pattern, or Cancel to return to the last saved one. Changes take effect within seconds of saving.

The times are the scheduler server's

IMan reads the grid in the timezone of the machine running the Realisable Scheduler Service, not the timezone of the browser you set it from. Where the two differ, a blackout will not begin at the hour it appears to.

The grid scrolls horizontally, and only about twenty hours of the day are in view at once. Scroll right to reach the later hours. The day names scroll with the grid, so count rows from the top when you check the end of the day. The rows run Monday to Sunday.

A blackout window suppresses the launch of a job. IMan lets a job that is already running when a blackout begins finish.

Allow Run Now During Blackout

Controls whether a blackout window applies to a job started by hand as well as to scheduled ones.

When enabled, which is the default, a Run Now request bypasses the blackout windows above and launches immediately. When disabled, IMan suppresses Run Now during a blackout in the same way as a schedule.

Audit retention (days)

How long IMan keeps the audit and monitoring history. Each day, IMan deletes anything older than this many days.

Setting it to 0 keeps the history forever. The default is 365 days.

IMan holds that history in the AUDITLOG and TRANSFORMEVENT tables, and the daily clean-up removes the expired rows from them.

This setting also limits how far back the audit report and the Integration Monitor can look. Once IMan deletes a run's history, it is gone from both.
