Schedules
In a real-time business environment, the ability to trigger processes or applications based either on specific system responses or at a specific time is a critical requirement. Process Platform facilitates modeling of schedules that can trigger time-based events or processes. Process Platform provides an intuitive UI-based schedule modeler, enabling you to model different kinds of schedules and integrate them into your applications.
Schedules are broadly of two kinds:
- One-time schedule, which is executed only once
- Repeating schedule, which is triggered at specified periodic intervals
Types of Schedules
Process Platform facilitates very fine-grained scheduling of events, ranging from annual to hourly recurrences. The various kinds of schedules supported by Process Platform are listed in the following table:
| Category | Type of Schedule | Description |
|---|---|---|
| One-time Schedules | Run Now | Once created, these schedules are instantly executed. |
| Duration | These schedules can be set to execute after a specified duration. | |
| Repeating Schedules | Hourly | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time every hour. |
| Daily | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time every day. | |
| Weekly | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time every week. | |
| Monthly | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified day every month. | |
| First Day of Month | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time on the first day of every month. | |
| Last Day of Month | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time on the last day of every month. | |
| First Week Day of Month | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time on the first week day of every month. | |
| Last Week Day of Month | These schedules can be set to recur at a specified time on the last week day of every month. | |
