Scheduling a rule execution
You can schedule your tasks based on simple or advanced time triggers. Time-based scheduling uses a simple trigger or a Cron trigger depending on the way you want your time-based triggered task to be executed, either at a defined time and date or regularly, over a period of time.
On the Scheduling view, you can set up different types of triggers that automate the execution of the defined migration rule.
The triggers available include:
-
Time-based triggers (SimpleTrigger):
-
Periodic multi-platform CRON-like triggers (CronTrigger):
The toolbar on top of the trigger table allows you to refresh the table, add or delete triggers, or duplicate a trigger configuration. For further information regarding the trigger management toolsManaging the Scheduling module
