Explanation of Parameters

The first 9 and the last 3 parameters of the scheduler string are always available.

In between, the string structure varies, depending on the selected recurrence pattern.

The first 9 parameters are explained under Start Parameters, and the three remaining standard parameters under Final Parameters.

And so, a scheduler string is always composed of 3 parts!

Start parameters(9)+ recurrence pattern parameters(daily = 2, weekly = 8, monthly = 3) + final parameters(3).

Example for scheduler string with a „daily“ recurrence pattern: 02:12;03:13;13;7/4/2008 7:00;0;7/4/2008 23:59;1;0;0;1;1;0;00:00;1

Example for scheduler string with a „weekly“ recurrence pattern: 00:00;00:00;0;7/4/2008 7:00;0;7/4/2008 23:59;1;0;1;7;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;04:44;1

Example for scheduler string with a „monthly“ recurrence pattern: 00:00;00:00;0;7/4/2008 7:00;0;7/4/2008 23:59;1;0;2;0;2;13;0;00:00;0

Start Parameters:

Parameter 1: e.g., 02:12

Start time under frequency every x minutes

Parameter 2: e.g., 03:13

End time under frequency every x minutes

Parameter 3: e.g., 13

Under frequency every x minutes, in this example, 13 minutes

Parameter 4: e.g., 7/4/2008 7:00

Start date of duration

Parameter 5: e.g., 0

One-time/recurring with/without end date

• 0 = recurring without end date
• 1 = one-time without end date(or x attempts SyncSchedulerDlg)
• 2 = recurring with end date
• 4 = one-time with end date

Parameter 6: e.g., 7/4/2008 23:59

End of period (only relevant if previous parameter = 2 or 4)

Parameter 7: e.g., 1

End after number of calls (only in SyncSchedulerDlg)

Parameter 8: e.g., 0

Stop job when end time is reached (only in SyncSchedulerDlg) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 9: e.g., 2

Recurrence pattern

• 0 = daily
• 1 = weekly
• 2 = monthly

Parameters under the daily recurrence pattern:

Parameter 1: e.g., 0

Differentiation between „every x day(s)“ and „every business day“

• 0 = every x day(s)
• 1 = every business day

Parameter 2: e.g., 4

Number of x days, in this example, every 4 days

Parameters under the weekly recurrence pattern:

Parameter 1: e.g., 7

Every x week(s) – in this example, every 7 weeks

Parameter 2: e.g., 1

Only Mondays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 3: e.g., 0

Always on Tuesdays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 4: e.g., 0

Always on Wednesdays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 5: e.g., 0

Always on Thursdays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 6: e.g., 0

Always on Fridays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 7: e.g., 0

Always on Saturdays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameter 8: e.g., 0

Always on Sundays (and/or...) - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Parameters under the monthly recurrence pattern:

Parameter 1: e.g., 0

Differentiation between day definitions

• 0 = day
• 1 = business days
• 2 = week-end day
• 3 = Sunday
• 4 = Monday
• 5 = Tuesday
• 6 = Wednesday
• 7 = Thursday
• 8 = Friday
• 9 = Saturday

Parameter 2: e.g., 2

Every x month(s)

Parameter 3: e.g., 13

On the xth day of the month

Final Parameters:

Final parameter 1: e.g., 1

Under frequency "once from" - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled

Final parameter 2: e.g., 04:44

Under frequency "once from" time

Final parameter 3: e.g., 1

Perform overdue installation - 0 = disabled; 1 = enabled
