A BPEL process may be created to perform routine maintenance or other recurring task. If desired, you can deploy the process and then set a schedule to run it, such as weekly or on a specific day of the month. You can set a fine-grained schedule (intraday, seconds), if desired.

View the Scheduled Processes page from the

Admin > Maintenance > Scheduling

menu.

The following table describes information you'll see on this page.

In a clustered environment, one of the nodes acts as an scheduling master at any time. Scheduled processes are elected to run only on the schedule master node. The schedule node is elected based on the server that starts up first. Only if there is a drop in the cluster communications do other nodes choose to get elected as the schedule master. Also Process Server does not maintain a history of the execution of scheduled processes.

To create a scheduled process, click the

Create Schedule

link at the top of the page. Process Server displays a dialog box that is described in

Creating a New Process Schedule
