• Common Schedule Panel – The schedule panel is embedded across all dialogs and wizards
for operations that can be scheduled. For example, if you choose to create a virtual copy from
the Common Actions panel under the Provisioning Manger, the Create Virtual Copy dialog
box gives you the option of either creating the virtual copy immediately or selecting a time to
schedule the creation. For more information, see “The Common Schedule Panel” (page 449).
For more information about interface components, see “Components of the Interface” (page 492).

The Common Schedule Panel
The Common Schedule panel provides options for creating schedules. Both required and optional
parameters are entered in the Schedule group box.
The available fields are as follows:
Name – The name of the schedule (required). An empty Name field results in a validation error.
Generate alert if task fails – Select this checkbox if you want to generate an alert if the scheduled
task fails.
Recurrence – How often you want the schedule to run. The possible values are:
• Hourly – Run every hour at the specified minute. The starting minute is required. In this way
tasks can be scheduled at different times to maintain optimal system performance.
• Daily – Run everyday at specified hour. The default value for the hour is rounded up to the
next hour.
