Tutorial - Launching Tasks at a Future Time

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.
