The Schedule Manager
is a SAS Management Console plug-in that works with scheduling servers
to schedule jobs that you create in other applications.
The scheduled
flows are run on a defined scheduling server.
After
you have defined the scheduling servers and batch servers and created
and deployed jobs for scheduling, you can use the Schedule Manager
to define or edit the schedule and submit the job for scheduling.
Using the Schedule Manager, you can perform these tasks:
-
create or edit deployed flows,
which contain one or more deployed jobs for scheduling.
-
create or edit dependencies for
jobs in the flow, which are criteria that must be met in order for
the job to run. Dependencies can be based on time, other jobs, or
files.
-
schedule or reschedule a flow to
run based on specified conditions (run now, run manually, or run whenever
a dependency is met).
To schedule
a job using the Schedule Manager, follow these steps:
-
Create
a flow, and then add one or more jobs to the flow. A flow is a group
of jobs and dependencies.
-
Specify
the scheduling server for the flow. The type of scheduling server
you select affects the dependencies that are available for the flow.
-
Specify dependencies
for the jobs in the flow. Dependencies are events that must occur
before the job runs. You can create these types of dependencies:
specify that the job
runs only when a time-related event occurs (such as a specific date
and time being reached or a specified time interval passing)
specify that the job
runs only when a file-related event occurs (such as a file being created
or a file reaching a certain age or size)
specify that the job
runs only when an event related to another job in the flow occurs
(such as a job starting or a job completing successfully)
-
Submit
the flow to the scheduling server.
In order
to use the Schedule Manager plug-in, your role must have the Schedule
Manager capability assigned under Management Console 9.2 capabilities.
