Scheduling a task

You can view and configure the schedule settings for the following task types: ODS, Update, Rollback, ODFIM, ContainerScan and InventoryScan.

Editing task schedule settings

To configure task schedule settings:

1. Save task schedule settings to a configuration file by executing the following command:

   kesl-control --get-schedule <task ID>|<task name> --file <configuration file name> [--json]

2. Open the configuration file for editing.
3. Specify the schedule settings.
4. Save the changes in the configuration file.
5. Import the schedule settings from the configuration file to the task using the following command:

   kesl-control --set-schedule <task ID>|<task name> --file <configuration file name> [--json]

The application will apply the new values of the schedule settings immediately.

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.

RunMissedStartRules – enables launch of the missed task after the application starts.

The kesl-control --get-schedule command

The kesl-control --get-schedule command displays the task schedule settings or saves them to the specified configuration file.

--file <configuration file name> is the name of the configuration file where the schedule settings will be saved.
