Figure 9 Scheduled Tasks Menu Option
The Scheduled Tasks dialog box displays a list of all currently scheduled
tasks. Operations that may be scheduled include Device Backup, Agent
Update and Network Discovery. Each task has a name, a start time and
how often the task repeats (if applicable). For tasks that are not
repeatable, for example, the backup operation, the
Repeat column
displays N/A.
Only one scheduled task can run at a given time. If two or more tasks are
set to run at the same time, the first task is executed and all others enter
a pending state, where the
Start Time column displays Pending . The
pending task is executed immediately after the currently scheduled task
finishes.
A scheduled task also enters the pending state if it is scheduled to start
but cannot for some reason. For example, if a manual
Network Discovery
is currently in progress which prevents a scheduled Network Discovery
from executing. Once the blocking task has finished the pending
scheduled task is executed.
If the following tasks are running:
■
Agent Update
■
Backup
