Running A Scheduled Job From The Right-Click Menu - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

• Run: Force a scheduled job to run now.
• 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 the next rotation set. Note: This is not
available for Fixed rotation types.
Using Run Next Schedule
There are several occasions when this command is useful ...
1. In a test environment when you want to test a schedule before using it in production environment.
2. If you want to manually launch a rotation earlier than scheduled.
3.
If a job fails and you want to run the next scheduled job immediately, after correcting whatever
caused the job to fail. In general, you should simply use the Run command to re-launch the
previous scheduled job. However, if you do want to advance the schedule, 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.
