Scheduling of an Action

Feature

Execute an Action or Task (Click, Http action, Local Program, Script, Sql, Ssh or Wmi commands) on a schedule or at a specific time of day.

Configure

Scheduling an Action can be configured via Germain Workspace or via a CRON expression

Via Germain Workspace

Germain Workspace > Left Menu >

1. Enable “Run on schedule” option

This will reveal the scheduler. In the basic option, you can configure it to run every minute, hourly, daily or weekly or have it configured to run at specific times.

CRON expression

If you prefer not to use the GUI, you can choose to use advanced option. Here you can write any valid CRON expression.
