The following examples show how schedules work when they run more than once. For a schedule created and enabled at 4:30 PM today, assuming today is Friday:
A schedule defined this way | Runs at these times |
A Daily schedule that runs once per day at 5:00 PM, with an end date of 12/31/2018 | The first time is at 5:00 PM today, Friday. The next time is at 5:00 PM tomorrow, Saturday. The schedule continues to run once daily at 5:00 PM, with its final run at 5:00 PM on 12/31/2018. |
A Weekly schedule that runs once per day at 5:00 PM, every Friday, with an end date of 12/31/2018 | The first time is today, Friday, at 5:00 PM. The next time is next Friday at 5:00 PM. The schedule continues to run once every Friday at 5:00 PM, with its final time at 5:00 PM on 12/30/2018 (the last Friday before the end date). |
An Every N Days schedule that runs every three days, with a start time of 5:00 PM, with no end date specified | The first time is today, Friday, at 5:00 PM. The next time is next Monday at 5:00 PM. The schedule continues to run every three days at 5:00 PM. |
•A schedule starts running at the specified time but it may have to wait for other schedules to complete before it can proceed. If the other schedules take too long, the schedule may not complete before you expected it to run a second time. If this happens, that second run time is skipped.
