The Job Scheduling screen lets you set up jobs to be run automatically. For example, the credit card processing settlement process must be run at the end of the day.
If
you want to schedule a report job to run with the previous month's data,
use the Advanced filter on the Job Submission screen to select transaction
dates for the previous month. The SQL statement written would have logic
to take the current date and get (month – 1, last day). The report parameter
for End Date would be a date into the future and would not need to be
changed.
To create a new reporting schedule setup:
1. From the toolbar, select Reporting > Job Scheduling.
2. Click Create New.
The TRS Report Chooser displays.
3. Search
for the appropriate Application and select it.
The Generic Chooser displays.
4. Select
the appropriate Setup Code for
the report.
The Job Scheduling screen displays with the TRS Application information
populated, as shown below.
5. Select the Begin Date from the drop-down.
The
Begin Date and End Date allow you to specify the exact date and time when
jobs are either processed or no longer processed. An End Date is not required
as you can specify the recurrence of the schedule pattern.
6. Select the End Date from the drop-down.
7. If necessary, check the Active checkbox.
If
the information you specify in this screen is not applicable for a period
of time but you want to retain the information for future purposes, you
can deselect the Active checkbox to indicate that the schedule is not
applicable.
8. Enter any comments in the Comments section.
9. Select
the Schedule Pattern for how often
the job should be run.
The corresponding fields change depending on the radio button selected.
10. Click Save.
