When to use

Use a source schedule if the input file needs to be updated automatically.

Setting procedure

  1. Open the source and the Download Frequency block.
  2. Select a quick script or fill in minutes, hours, days of the month, months and days of the week.
  3. Specify the schedule status: active or paused.
  4. If necessary, set an end date.
  5. Save the source and check the task in Scheduler.

What to check

  • The next launch looks as expected in the Scheduler.
  • The user's time zone is taken into account when reading the time.
  • A manual source does not require a schedule.

Notes

  • The source can be updated more often than the profile if the result is not needed after every update.
  • If there are loading errors, look at the last task result in the Scheduler.
