How to Create Scheduler

Steps:

1. Go to Account > Event Workflows > Schedulers. 

2. Click Create Scheduler.

3. Fill in the following fields: 

   • In the General section:

     • You can toggle the Status between Enabled and Disabled.

     • Enter Scheduler Name of your choice. The maximum allowed length is 255 characters, and the name cannot be changed later.

   • In the Target section you define where an action should take place.

     • Target Type – Select either Partition, Integration, or PFM.

     • Target Name – Select a particular partition or IM instance.

   • In the Action section you define what should be triggered.

     • Action Type – Defines what that type of action should run. Completion of this action can trigger a sequence of steps in a workflow.

       • For a partition you can select:

         • Logic

         • Calculation

         • Data Load

       • For integration you can select:

         • Route

       • For PFM you can select:

         • Workflow

         • Data Download (for more details, refer to Downloads)

     • Action ID – Select a specific logic / calculation / Data Load / route / partition. In case of multiple actions with the same name but different target, the target partition is displayed in parentheses after the action name.

       On a partition with many entities, the picker loads one page of results at a time. It then shows Showing first 100 items, type to search for more. Type part of the name to find an entity that is not in the visible list.

   • In the Payload section define a payload content and send it as body. For ready-to-use payload examples (Body, Headers, Properties) per action type, see Action Step Payload Examples.

   • In the Timing section set the start time and end time, specify the time zone, define the repeat frequency and intervals, and determine specific times for triggering actions. To repeat on a schedule the preset options do not cover, set Repeat to Defined by Cron and enter a Cron definition. The field takes the AWS EventBridge cron format, six fields with no seconds field: minute hour day-of-month month day-of-week year. For example, 0/5 5-17 * * ? * runs every 5 minutes between 05:00 and 17:00 every day. A Unix or Quartz expression is rejected, because a Quartz expression starts with a seconds field and shifts every field one position to the left.

4. Click Create to save the scheduler.
   Once it is created, you can turn it on/off also from the list of schedulers.
