Guidelines on Using Run Next Schedule

There are two occasions when this command is useful.
1. In a test environment when you want to test a schedule before using it in
2. If a job fails and you want to run the next scheduled job immediately, after
Pause schedule: This command is available whenever a job is scheduled; it
prevents the schedule from proceeding. This option is available at all times; the
job does not have to be running. It allows a user to prevent a job from running
again, without having to wait for the next schedule to start.
Continue schedule: This command is available when the job schedule is paused.
When selected, it lets the schedule proceed.
Run next schedule: This command is useful when using a rotation. It allows the
user to tell the scheduler to proceed to the next scheduled event, and use the next
media set if a rotation is defined. This allows the user to immediately advance to

production environment.
correcting whatever caused the job to fail. Be careful when using this option. It
brings forward the time when the next scheduled job runs; which means that
there will be a longer delay until the next instance of the job. For example, if you
have daily backups scheduled at 18:00 and you apply the Run next schedule
command at 12:00 on Wednesday, the next job will not run until 18:00 on
Thursday. If you do not want to advance the schedule, correct the problem and
apply the Run command to the failed instance of the job.
