Task schedule settings
The application provides the following settings for configuring the task launch schedule:
RuleType=Once|Monthly|Weekly|Daily|Hourly|Minutely|Manual|PS|BR
where:
Manual – start the task manually.
PS – start the task after starting the application.
BR – start the task after the application databases have been updated.
StartTime=[<year>/<month>/<day of the month>] [hh]:[mm]:[ss]; [<day of the month>|<day of the week>]; [<start periodicity>] – task start time. The StartTime setting is required if RuleType=Once|Monthly|Weekly|Daily|Hourly|Minutely.
RandomInterval=<minutes> – a time interval from 0 to the specified value (in minutes), which will be added to the task start time to avoid starting tasks at the same time.
