Modifying the Frequency and Range of Recurring Build Jobs

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

To modify the frequency of a recurring build job:

1. In Dimensions Build click the Build Scheduling tab.

2. In the navigation pane click Scheduling and select the Dimensions project containing the build schedule recurrence that you want to modify. In the Scheduled Build Jobs section of the content pane click the schedule. The Edit Scheduled Build Job dialog box appears.

3. Click the Recurrence tab.

4. To modify 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 month when the build job repeats, for example day 16 of month 12.

5. Click the Range of Recurrence tab.

6. To modify the start time of the build job recurrence, click the down arrow to the right of the Start field. The calendar picker is displayed. To select a start time and date:

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

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.

7. To modify 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 the build job is repeated.

- End by: select the date when the build job stops. Click the down arrow to the right of the field and use the calendar picker to select a date (see steps 6a to 6e).
