Scheduling the task

At this step, configure the application activation task run mode:

• Scheduled start. Choose the task run mode in the drop-down list. The settings displayed in the window depend on the task run mode chosen.
• Run skipped tasks. If you want the application to start missed tasks immediately after the SVM appears on the network, select this check box.

  If this check box is cleared, in Manually mode, the task is started only on SVMs that are visible on the network.

• Use automatically randomized delay for task starts. By default, the time of task start on SVMs is randomized with the scope of a certain time period. This period is calculated automatically depending on the number of SVMs covered by the task:
  • 0–200 SVMs – task start is not randomized
  • 200–500 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 5 minutes
  • 500–1000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 10 minutes
  • 1000–2000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 15 minutes
  • 2000–5000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 20 minutes
  • 5000–10000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 30 minutes
  • 10000–20000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 1 hour
  • 20000–50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 2 hours
  • over 50000 SVMs – task start is randomized within the scope of 3 hours

  If you do not need to randomize the time of task start within the scope of an automatically calculated time period, clear the Use automatically randomized delay for task starts check box. This check box is set by default.

• Randomize the task run with interval (min). If you want to start the task at a given time within a specified period after manual launch, select this check box. In the corresponding text box, specify the maximum task run delay time. In this case, after manual start, the task is started at a random time within the specified period. This check box can be changed if the Use automatically randomized delay for task starts check box is cleared.
