Running Scheduled Jobs; Automatically Running Scheduled Jobs - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User Manual

Running Scheduled Jobs

Scheduled jobs are normally run automatically by Data Protector Express, but you can also "force" a
scheduled job to run.
When you close the property page of a job, Data Protector Express calculates the next time the job is
scheduled to run and places the job on the Job Status view.
To see a list of details about the jobs, use the Details view.
The Next Run Time field on the Job Status view shows the date and time the job is scheduled to run.
This is true for jobs scheduled with automatic or manual rotation schedules.
These jobs will run automatically if Data Protector Express is open at the scheduled date and time. It is
not necessary for a user to be logged on to Data Protector Express for the job to run. Data Protector
Express will run scheduled jobs even if the user who created the job has logged out so long as Data
Protector Express is still open or the Data Protector Express service is running.
For example, suppose you have scheduled a job to run at 11:00 p.m. tonight. When you leave your PC
desktop, log out of Data Protector Express. Do not exit or close Data Protector Express. When the Data
Protector Express Logon window appears, click the minimize button to close the window. Although no
user will be logged on, Data Protector Express will still be open and will execute the job at the scheduled
time.
