Scheduling Published Tasks to Run

Run a task manually or use schedules and task schedules to automate the running of tasks in Data Integration.

A task must be published to an application before you can run the task or schedule the task to run. See Task Publishing.

To run a published task automatically on a specific schedule, you must perform the following actions:

• Create a schedule: A schedule defines when and how frequently tasks should be run. A schedule can be used across tasks of any type.
• Create a task schedule for the task: A task schedule is an automated run configuration for a specific task. You schedule a task to run automatically by creating a task schedule, and associating the task schedule with an existing schedule.

By using schedules and task schedules, you can enable published tasks to run automatically on specific days and times, and at specific frequency intervals. A schedule can be associated with multiple task schedules, but a task schedule must be associated with only one existing schedule.

In Data Integration, by default you can have simultaneous or parallel task runs of a task at a given time. To disallow concurrent task runs by a task schedule, select the disable simultaneous execution checkbox when you create the task schedule. When the checkbox is selected, any scheduled running of the task by the task schedule is skipped if the scheduled task run that's previously triggered is still running.
