Tutorial - Launching Tasks at a Future Time

Owned by Former user (Deleted)

In this exercise, we will create a trigger that will launch multiple tasks at the same time in the future (in two minutes). For this exercise, we will use the SQL tasks created in the Running a Workflow with a Conditional Path tutorial.

(A future date also can be selected, but to see now that the tasks have been launched, keep the current date.)

Create a Temporary Trigger

Step 1

From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Triggers > Temporary Triggers. The Temporary Triggers list displays.

Step 2

Click the New button to display Temporary Trigger Details for a new trigger and enter/select the following values:

  • Name = Launch Tasks
  • Tasks = stonebranch-timertask-01, stonebranch-timertask-02, and stonebranch-timertask-03 Timer tasks
  • Date = current date
  • Time = 5 minutes from the current time
  • Time Zone = your time zone

Step 3

Click the Save button.
 

Step 4

Right-click Launch Tasks on the Temporary Triggers list and click Enable.

Step 5

Open the Activity Monitor to see that the three Timer tasks are run at the selected time.
