Patching Job - Schedules

 The Schedules panel lets you schedule a job to execute immediately, schedule a job at a specific time in the future, schedule a job on a recurring basis, and define notifications that are issued when a job runs.

When scheduling a job, you can perform any of the following tasks:

• Scheduling a job that executes immediately — To schedule a job that executes immediately, select Execute job now. If your system has been configured to require approval information for this job type, select Execute on Approval and then click Browse to display the Enter Approval Information dialog box. For more information, see Patching Job - Execute on approval and Approval type settings.
• Scheduling a job — The Schedule tab lets you schedule a job so it can run one time, recur hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, or recur at some arbitrary interval. For more information, see Patching Job - Scheduling.
• Defining job notifications — The Job Notifications tab lets you set up notifications that are generated when a scheduled job runs. For more information, see Patching Job - Scheduled Job Notifications.
• Providing approval information — The Approval information tab lets you provide required approval information. This tab only appears when your system has been configured to require approval information for this job type. For more information, see Patching Job - Execute on approval and Approval type settings.
