Scheduling data flows
In cases where the source endpoint is File System, FTP or SFTP, you can schedule a data flow to run automatically. You can specify multiple schedules for a data flow. All schedules you set up are recurring.
- Go to the Data Flow edit page and click Add
Schedule.
The Schedule dialog box displays.
- Select a time zone. All the schedules you add will be relative to the time zone you select.
- Select an interval type – Minutes, Hourly, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
- For Minutes, choose an interval in minutes and a starting point in seconds for each interval.
- For Hourly, choose an interval in hours and a starting point in minutes and seconds for each interval.
- For Daily, choose either an interval in days and a starting pointing in hours, minutes and seconds, or choose to run at every working day and specify a starting time.
- For Weekly, select the days on which you want the data flow to run and specify a starting time.
- For Monthly, select either of the following:
- A numerical day of the month (for example, the 15th of the month), an interval in months (for example, every 3 months), and a starting time. Should the day of the month fall on a non-working day, you can specify that the data flow should run on the weekday that falls closest to the scheduled start time.
- A day of the week and its order (for example, the second Tuesday of the month), an interval in months (for example, every 3 months), and a starting time.
- Click Advanced to specify a schedule using Quartz Cron notation.
