About scheduler
The scheduler defines a job and its schedule (timetable). A job is a routine task or tasks defined as a command list and completed according to a specified schedule which is the timetable for completing a job.
There are two types of mode in schedule,
- Periodic mode - A recurring interval that continues until you delete the job
- One-time mode - Job is completed only once at a specified time.
The scheduler allows you to maintain the activities such as;
- Quality of Service policy changes
- Data backup
- Saving a configuration
