Rescheduling and Modifying the Recurrence Settings of Jobs

In Junos Space Network Management Platform, jobs are actions performed on managed objects. You can schedule jobs to run in the future, as well as create jobs that run periodically by setting recurrence intervals. From the Job Management page, you can reschedule a job and modify the recurrence settings to change the current schedule of the job.

You can reschedule jobs only in the following cases:

  • Schedule and recurrence settings of a job can be modified if the job supports scheduling and recurrence, and it is currently in the Scheduled state.

  • The schedule of a job in the Failed and Success states can be modified only if it is a recurring job.

  • The recurrence setting of a scheduled job can be modified only if the job was created as a recurring job. This behavior is true for all scheduled jobs except the following:

    • Backing up configuration files

    • Backing up the MySQL and PostGreSQL database

    • Generating reports

To reschedule and modify the recurrence settings of jobs triggered by any user in Junos Space Platform, you must be assigned the privileges of a Job Administrator. As a Job User, you can reschedule or modify the recurrence settings of only those jobs that are scheduled by you.

To reschedule and modify the recurrence settings of a scheduled job:

  1. On the Junos Space Platform UI, select Jobs > Job Management.

    The Job Management inventory page is displayed.

  2. Select the job you want to reschedule and select Reschedule Job from the Actions menu.

    The Reschedule Job dialog box is displayed.

  3. (Optional) Select the Schedule at a later time check box to reschedule the selected job.

    To specify the date and time when you want to run the job:

    1. Click the calendar icon and select the new date.
    2. Select the time from the drop-down list.
  4. (Optional) Select the Recurrence check box to modify the job recurrence. By default, the job is executed once every week.

    To specify the new recurrence schedule:

    1. (Optional) Select the periodicity of recurrence from the Repeats list. The default is Weekly.

      If you select Weekly from the Repeats list, the Repeat by field appears, where you can select the check boxes for the days of the week that you want the job to recur.

    2. (Optional) Select the interval from the Repeat every list. The default is 1.
    3. (Optional) Click the On option button in the Ends field to specify an end date for the job recurrence. If you select the Never option button, the job recurs endlessly until you cancel the job manually.

      To specify the date and time when you want to end the job recurrence:

      1. Click the calendar icon and select the date.

      2. Select the time from the drop-down list.

  5. Click Reschedule.

    The job is rescheduled and you are redirected to the Job Management page.
