Scheduler

Using Scheduler, you can schedule certain Axiom Software tasks to be processed on a Scheduler server at a specific date and time. For example, you can schedule plan file processing or data imports.

Processing tasks using Scheduler has advantages over manual processing, such as:

• Leverages the server's processing power and frees up your computer's resources.
• Enables recurring scheduling of ongoing tasks.
• Allows tasks to be scheduled during "off hours," during periods of low network and system activity.
• Allows tasks to be performed in batch, including enforcing task dependencies.

Scheduler processes tasks using jobs. Each job is a scheduled unit that can contain one or more tasks. The tasks in a job can be processed sequentially or concurrently as appropriate.

Only system administrators and users with the Scheduled Jobs User security permission can access Scheduler.

Most Scheduler setup activities can only be performed in the Desktop Client (Excel or Windows Client). However, some job management activities can be performed in the Web Client, such as monitoring the job schedule, viewing job results, and running jobs manually on demand.
