Tutorial - Launching Tasks Using a Cron Trigger

Create a Cron Trigger

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

  • Name = Launch Tasks Using Cron
  • Task(s) = stonebranch-timertask-01, stonebranch-timertask-01=2, and stonebranch-timertask-03 Timer tasks
  • Minutes = Number of minutes past the hour you want the tasks to run. For example, if you want the tasks to run at for 3:16, enter 16.
  • Hours = Hour (in 24-hour time) that you want the tasks to run. For example, if you want the tasks to run at for 3:16, enter 15. Universal Controller uses the time zone of the Controller server.
