The following table lists the date and time fields available if you select the Daily option from the Frequency drop-down list:

Field Label

Description

Start Date

Enter the date you want the job to execute for the first time.

If you do not enter a date, the current date is assumed as the start date.

If you enter a date older than the current date, N4 starts executing the job at the first possible time depending on the time schedule.

End Date

Enter the date you want the job to stop executing.

If you do not enter a date, once scheduled, the job will continue to execute according to the schedule that you set up until you manually unschedule the job using the Actions Unschedule option.

Execution Hour(s)

Enter the hour(s) of the day that you want the job to execute.

The valid hour values are from 0 to 23, with 0 representing 12:00 midnight.

You can enter multiple values separated by comma and also enter ranges using a hyphen (-).

For example:

  • 0: The job will execute at midnight.

  • 0,10,20: The job will execute at midnight, 10 A.M., and 8 P.M.

  • 10-20: The job will execute every hour starting 10 A.M and ending 8 P.M.

  • 5,10,15-20: The job will execute at 5 A.M., at 10 A.M, and then every hour starting 3 P.M. and ending 8 P.M.

If you do not enter a value in this field, the job will execute every hour of the day at the minutes defined in the Execution Minute(s) fields.

Execution Minute(s)

Enter the minute(s) of the hour that you want the job to execute.

The valid minute values are from 0 to 59.

You can enter multiple values separated by comma and also enter ranges using a hyphen (-).

The time of execution of a job is calculated by combining the values entered in the Execution Hour(s) and Execution Minute(s) fields.

For example:

  • 0: The job will execute at the hour specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

  • 0,10,20: The job will execute at the hour, and then at 10 minutes past, and 20 minutes past the hour specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

  • 10-20: The job will execute every minute starting 10 minutes past the hour and ending 20 minutes past the hour specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

  • 5,10,15-20: The job will execute at 5 minutes past, 10 minutes past, and then every minute starting 15 minutes past and ending at 20 minutes past the hour specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

If you do not enter a value in this field, the job will execute every minute of the hour(s) specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

Repeat Interval Hours

Enter the number of hours after which the job execution must be repeated.

The valid range of values is 1 to 23.

For example, if you enter 2, the job execution will be repeated every two hours starting at the hour specified in the Execution Hour(s) field.

If you do not enter a value in this field, the job will execute only at the hour and minute(s) specified in the Execution Hour(s) and Execution Minute(s) fields.

Repeat Interval Mins

Enter the number of minutes after which the job execution must be repeated.

The valid range of values is 0 to 59.

The number of minutes can be combined with the number of hours to specify the repeat interval.

For example:

  • If you enter 20 in the Repeat Interval Mins field, the job execution will be repeated every twenty minutes.

  • If you enter 2 in the Repeat Interval Hours field and 20 in the Repeat Interval Mins field, the job execution will be repeated every two hours at 0, 20, and 40 minutes (assuming that the value in the Execution Minute(s) field is 0).

If you do not enter a value in this field, the job will execute only at the hour and minute(s) specified in the Execution Hour(s) and Execution Minute(s) fields.
