Setting a Publication Schedule

When you create a Publication, you specify how frequently you want this Publication to be automatically updated
on the Publisher Database Server. If you would like to change this frequency, you can edit the Publication from the
Publication Manager dialog box.
Task: To set a Publication schedule:
1. On the Publication Manager, select the Publication that you want to edit and click Edit. The Publication
Properties dialog box appears.
2. Click the Details tab.
3. Click Change next to the Schedule text box. The Task Scheduling dialog box appears.
4. In the Run the process every list, select how frequently you want this Publication to be automatically updated
on the Publisher Database Server: Day, Week, or Month.
•
If you selected Week, select the day of the week that you want to update this Publication.
•
If you selected Month, select the day of the month that you want to update this Publication.
5. From the Starting on list, select the day or date that you want this Publication to begin being automatically
updated on the day or date you selected from the Run the process every list.
For example, if you want the Publication to be automatically updated on the 15th of each month, you would
select the first day of the first month that you want the automatic updates to begin, not the first day that the
Publication should be updated. If it is Monday and you want the Publication to be updated every Friday, to
have the Publication begin being updated on the upcoming Friday, you would select the current day of the
week (Monday), but if you didn't want the Publication to be updated until the Friday after next, you would
select Saturday.
