Scheduling actions

In the web UI, you can schedule actions to run based on a time and date or based on an event.

Note: This section applies to the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only.

You use the Scheduler to run actions automatically at specific times, when files are present, or when certain events occur.

In the web UI, click Scheduler.
Each action, host action, and standalone action in the active tree pane is listed in the schedule table.
Select the action you want to schedule. You can right-click the action row and select Schedule, double-click the action row, or single-click the action row and click the clock icon.
Alternatively, you can right-click the action in the Active tab of the tree pane.

The Schedule Action dialog box appears.
In the Schedule Action dialog box, the following top-level scheduling actions are available:
- by Polling: checks your folder for files continuously. See Scheduling actions to run automatically by polling for files.
- by Date/Time: applies date- and time-based scheduling for your action. See Scheduling actions to run at specific dates and times.
- by Events: runs the action when the selected event occurs. See Scheduling actions to run based on events. Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications only.
When you finish specifying values for scheduling parameters above, click Schedule.
The Schedule Action dialog box is dismissed and the new schedule information is displayed on the Scheduler page.

Note: You can modify an existing schedule by simply changing, adding, or removing the scheduling parameters for a selected action. To remove an action from the schedule, select Unschedule in the Schedule Action dialog box.

By default, the schedule will automatically start when the application is started. You can, however, override this behavior by turning off Run Scheduler Automatically at Startup. See Other system options.

For the Cleo LexiCom application, the schedule will only run one action at a time. If more than one action is scheduled for the same time, the actions are run sequentially. If a scheduled action is still running when another action's scheduled time arrives, the action is not started until the running action ends.

For the Cleo Harmony and Cleo VLTrader applications, you control concurrently running scheduled actions using the property Allow Scheduled Actions to Run Concurrently. See Other system options.
