Scheduler

Using Scheduler, you can schedule certain Axiom Decision Support 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.
