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 for this job type, select Execute on Approval and then click Browse to display the Change Request Information dialog box. For more information, see Patching-Job-Execute-on-Approval-and-Change-Request-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 Change Request information — The Change Request information tab lets you provide Change Request information. This tab only appears when your system has been configured to require approval for this job type. For more information, see Patching-Job-Execute-on-Approval-and-Change-Request-settings.
