You can set up to 1,024 schedules, which allow you to run the following actions at regular intervals.
For details on the settings that each [AnalysisSchedule]
section can contain and on how you can configure them, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
Open the IDOL Category component configuration file in a text editor.
Create an [AnalysisScheduleN]
section for each schedule that you want to run. Start numbering the [AnalysisScheduleN]
sections from zero (so that the first schedule section is [AnalysisSchedule0]
). For example:
[AnalysisSchedule0] [AnalysisSchedule1] [AnalysisSchedule2] [AnalysisSchedule3] [AnalysisSchedule4] [AnalysisSchedule5]
In this example six schedules were created. Note that the schedules are listed in consecutive order, starting from zero.
Specify the settings for each schedule in the appropriate section. You can specify the action to schedule, the interval in which each schedule runs, the number of times each schedule runs, what job name to give the action, and so on. For example:
[AnalysisSchedule0] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=ClusterSnapshot TargetJobName=myjob [AnalysisSchedule1] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=ClusterCluster SourceJobName=myjob TargetJobName=myjob_clusters DoMapping=True [AnalysisSchedule2] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=ClusterCluster SourceJobName=myjob TargetJobName=myjob_clusters_new WhatsNew=True Interval=86400 [AnalysisSchedule3] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=ClusterSGDataGen Interval=604800 SourceJobName=myjob TargetJobName=myjob_sg [AnalysisSchedule4] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=ClusterSGDataGen Interval=86400 SourceJobName=myjob_content TargetJobName=compare_snapshots_sg [AnalysisSchedule5] ScheduleStartTime=now ScheduleInterval=1 day ScheduleCycles=1 ScheduleAction=TaxonomyGenerate Cluster=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 SourceJobName=myjob_clusters TargetJobName=myjob_taxonomy WriteTaxonomy=true NumResults=25
Save and close the configuration file.
Restart the IDOL Category component for your changes to take effect.
TIP: As an alternative to setting up schedules in the configuration file, you can also use the Category Queue page in the Control section of IDOL Admin to schedule ClusterSnapshot
, ClusterCluster
, ClusterSGDataGen
, and TaxonomyGenerate
actions. For more information, refer to the IDOL Admin User Guide.
