Scheduled Events and Activities

Scheduling timers support the configuration of certain Catalyst activities to start at a particular calendar date and time and repeat at a particular periodicity.  Table 2.6A lists all Catalyst features that support scheduling.

 

There are 2 main components in any schedule:

 

  1. Base Time:Specifies the precise calendar date and time at which the activity should commence for the first time in the current year.
  2. Frequency:Specifies the periodicity at which the activity should recur.  Value must be in range of 10 seconds to 12 months.

In general, each of these two components consists of 5 sub-fields allowing configuration of months, days, hours, minutes and seconds.  Some features do not require the full range of resolution and so do not provide control over certain sub-fields.
