Scheduling the Frequency and Range of Recurring Build Jobs

Follow the procedure below to set the frequency and range that a new build job is repeated.

Setup a build job schedule, for details see Adding Build Job Schedules.

To schedule the frequency of a recurring build job:

1. If you are adding a recurrence to a new schedule in the Add Scheduled Build Job dialog box, go to step 2.

If you are adding a recurrence to a new schedule but have closed the Add Scheduled Build Job dialog box, do the following:

1. In the navigation pane click Scheduling and select the Dimensions project containing the build job schedule.

2. In the Scheduled Build Jobs section of the content pane click the scheduled build job. The Edit Scheduled Build Job dialog box appears.

2. On the Scheduled Build Job Details tab select the Recurring checkbox and click the Recurrence tab.

3. To specify the frequency that the build job is repeated, select one of the following options:

- Hourly: specify an interval in hours, for example, every 2 hours.

- Daily: specify an interval in days, for example, every 3 days.

- Weekly: specify an interval in weeks and select the day(s) to repeat the build job. For example, you can specify that the build job repeats every week on Monday and Friday.

- Monthly: specify the day and the month when to repeat the build job, for example day 16 of month 12.

4. Click the Range of Recurrence tab.

5. To specify when the build job recurrence starts, click the down arrow to the right of the Start field. The calendar picker appears. To select a start time and date do the following:

1. From the Month list select a month, or use the left and right arrows to scroll through the months.

2. From the Year list select a year.

3. Select a date. Dates with a light grey background occur on Saturdays and Sundays. Dates with a dark grey background occur in different months and you cannot select them (choose the next or previous month).

4. From the Time lists select an hour, minute, and PM or AM.

5. To use this start time click the tick button at the top right corner of the calendar picker. The start time appears in the Start Time field.

6. To specify when the build job recurrence ends, choose one of the following options:

- No end date: the build job recurs indefinitely until you modify or delete the build job schedule.

- End after n occurrences: specify the number of times to repeat the build job.

- End by: select the date when the build job schedule stops. Click the down arrow to the right of the field and use the calendar picker to select a date (see steps 5a to 5e).

7. Click OK.
