Scheduling a task

You can configure an action to run automatically on system startup or according to a schedule by creating a scheduled task.

1. From the Config Tool homepage, open Automation > Scheduled tasks .
2. Click Scheduled task ().
   Note:

   If your Security Center SaaS system uses partitions, you must enter the Entity name and the Entity description, and select a Partition.
   A new scheduled task is added to the entity list.
3. Enter a name for the new scheduled task.
4. Click the Properties tab for the scheduled task, and switch Status to Active.
5. For Recurrence, select how often you want the task to run:

   Once

   Executed once at a specific date and time.

   Every minute

   Executed every minute.

   Hourly

   Executed at a specific minute of every hour.

   Daily

   Executed at a specific time every day.

   Weekly

   Executed at a specific time on one or more days of the week

   Monthly

   Executed at a specific time on the same day every month.

   CAUTION:

   Tasks scheduled on day 29, 30, or 31 are not run in shorter months that do not include the selected day.

   Yearly

   Executed at a specific time on the same day every year.

   On startup

   Executed on system startup.

   Interval

   Executed at regular intervals that can be days, hours, minutes, or seconds.

   Note:

   Tasks are skipped if they can’t be run at the scheduled time because the main server is offline, an entity is unavailable, and so on.
6. (Optional) Set the time and date for the scheduled task. This requirement depends on the value that you select for Recurrence.
   Note:

   The client machine that you use to create a scheduled task can be in a different time zone from the main Directory to which you’re connected. In this case, the Time field is configured in your machine's local time zone, with a notification indicating the corresponding time on the main Directory.
7. Select an Action to execute.
8. If required, configure the selected action.
   For example, if you select Synchronize role, you must select a role to synchronize.
9. Click Apply.
