Schedules

Schedules

You can create schedules to run tasks or taskflows at specified times or at regular intervals. You can also define a blackout period during which scheduled tasks or jobs don't run.
You must have the Schedule privilege in the Administrator asset privileges to create, read, update, delete, or set permissions on project schedules. Create schedules and configure blackout periods on the
Schedules
 page in
Administrator
.
After you create a schedule, you can associate it with tasks and taskflows
in another service such as
Data Integration
.
When you create a schedule, you specify the date and time. You can configure a schedule to run associated assets throughout the day between 12:00 a.m. and 11:55 p.m.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 might add a small schedule offset to the start time, end time, and all other time configurations. As a result, scheduled tasks and taskflows might start later than expected. For example, you configure a schedule to run hourly until noon, and the schedule offset for your organization is 10 seconds.
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
 extends the end time for the schedule to 12:00:10 p.m., and the last hourly task or taskflow starts at 12:00:10 p.m. To see the schedule offset for your organization, check the
Schedule Offset
 organization property for the Data Integration Service.
You can perform the following tasks with schedules:
Associate a schedule with a task or taskflow
To associate a schedule with a task or taskflow, edit the task or taskflow. For example, to associate a schedule with a
mapping
 task, edit the
mapping
 task in
Data Integration
, and select the schedule on the
Schedules
 page.
When you copy a task or taskflow that includes a schedule, the schedule is not associated with the new asset. To associate a schedule with the new asset, edit the asset.
Monitor scheduled tasks
You can monitor scheduled tasks from the
All Jobs
 page in
Monitor
. Scheduled tasks do not appear on the
My Jobs
 page.
Export a schedule
You can export a schedule from your organization and import it into another organization. Export a schedule on the
Schedules
 page. If the schedule is associated with a task or taskflow, the task or taskflow is not included in the export file.
Delete a schedule
Delete a schedule on the
Schedules
 page in
Administrator
.
You cannot delete a schedule that is used in a task or taskflow. Remove the schedule from all tasks and taskflows before you delete the schedule.

How do we remove the scheduling from a taskflow?  

Informatica Documentation Team - November 18, 2022

Hi Teri Buchanan,

To remove a schedule from a taskflow, navigate to the taskflow on the Explore page, and then click Actions > Scheduled Jobs. Select the scheduled job for the taskflow and click Delete.

For more information, see the following link:

Thanks,
Informatica Documentation team

It would be good to know what permissions are needed to create a schedule. 

Informatica Documentation Team - June 18, 2024

Hi Sam Greene,

Thanks for reaching out! The permission that is required to create a schedule is the "Schedule" Administrator asset privilege. The privilege is documented in the following topic: https://docs.informatica.com/cloud-common-services/administrator/current-version/user-administration/user-roles/role-asset-and-feature-privileges/administrator-asset-and-feature-privileges.html

We'll file a ticket to clarify this particular topic in the next major release.
