Field Description
Scheduling
Run Type Specifies the type of schedule for the job:
• Immediate—Runs the report immediately.
• 6 - hourly—Runs the report every 6 hours, starting from the specified time.
• 12 - hourly—Runs the report every 12 hours, starting from the specified time.
• Once—Runs the report once at the specified date and time.
• Daily—Runs daily at the specified time.
• Weekly—Runs weekly on the day of the week and at the specified time.
• Monthly—Runs monthly on the day of the month and at the specified time.
For periodic jobs, the subsequent instances of jobs will run only after the earlier instance of the job is complete.
For example, if you have scheduled a daily job at 10:00 a.m. on November 1, the next instance of this job will
run at 10:00 a.m. on November 2, only if the earlier instance of the November 1 job has completed. If the 10.00
a.m. November 1 job has not completed before 10:00 a.m. November 2, then the next job will start only at
10:00 a.m. on November 3.
If you select Immediate, all other options are disabled.
