At scheduled intervals, the Action Scheduler logs on to APM, evaluates the list of scheduled actions, and turns the actions into Windows Task Scheduler tasks, which run independently of each other. This section explains how to set up the Action Scheduler service and created actions. Scheduled actions are methods that can be set up to run automatically with a repeatable frequency. Each scheduled action defines: • The method to be run • The time the method should run • How often running the method should be repeated You can schedule actions to run at hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly time periods and specify the interval within that time period. For example, you could create a scheduled action that recalculates calculated indicators every two hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Note: Only particular methods can be scheduled to run as actions. The selected methods are background processing actions within APM that do not generate any window or dialog user interaction. For information about setting up the Action Scheduler, see APM Installation Guide.
