Defining a Trigger Scheduling
Trigger Scheduling Definition
A Trigger scheduling is defined by:
• its execution time zone for all its scheduling time definitions
• its recurrence
The execution can be unique or recurrent.
If the execution is recurrent:
• the recurrence pattern, i.e. its execution recurrence (daily, weekly, monthly, weekly)
• the execution recurrence time, i.e. executing the trigger once or several times th days scheduled on a recurrence range.
• the execution recurrence range, i.e. defining the first and last Trigger execution dates.
Defining the Execution Time Zone
To facilitate scheduling time definition, you can modify the time zone in which you define the scheduling times:
• UTC (default), to define times in UTC format
• User time zone, to define times in the user time zone
• Server time zone (STZ), to define times in the time zone of the server executing the Trigger
Attention: if you change the time zone a posteriori, times are not automatically converted.To define the execution time zone:
1. Access the Triggers.
See Accessing Triggers.2. Select the Trigger concerned and in the list menu bar, click Update Scheduling.
3. Expand the Advanced section, and in the Time zone for all the scheduling time definitions, select the time zone.
4. If you select User time zone, you must define your time zone.
Defining the Trigger Execution Frequency
A Trigger can be executed uniquely or on a regular basis.
To define the Trigger execution frequency:
1. Access the Triggers.
See Accessing Triggers.2. Select the Trigger concerned and in the list menu bar, click Update Scheduling.
3. In the Frequency section, define the frequency:
• unique execution: select “Once”
• recurrence: keep “Recurrent” and define the recurrence (pattern, moment, range).
See Defining the Trigger Recurrence Pattern, Defining the Recurrence Time of a Trigger execution, Defining the Recurrence Range of a Trigger Execution.4. If you selected “Once”, define the date:
• keep, “As soon as possible”, the Trigger est executed as soon as possible, or
• select” At scheduled time” and define the Start Date with the help of the calendar and the Start time with the the arrows.
Time is defined in the time zone defined (see Defining the Execution Time Zone) with the hh:mm:ss format. If you are in the UTC time zone, to facilitate the check of your settings, see Defining your Local Time.Defining the Trigger Recurrence Pattern
A Trigger can be executed uniquely or on a regular basis.
The recurrence pattern can be:
• daily
By default, the Trigger is executed every day at the time set for the first execution.
You can execute the Trigger every N days (N to be defined)
• weekly, you must define:
• the frequency
E.g.: every two weeks (N=2)
• the day of the week
E.g.: Monday, Tuesday,..., Sunday
You can select several days.
• monthly, you must define:
• the day of the month, or the day of the week (day of the week and week of the month to be defined)
E.g.: 1,2,...,31, last day of the month
You can select several days.
E.g.: every Sunday of the last week of the month, i.e. the last Saturday of the month.
You can select several days and several weeks.
• the frequency: every N months (N to be defined) or a specific month every year
E.g.: every 2 months (N=2) or in April every year.
You can select several months.
To define the Trigger recurrence pattern:
1. Access the Triggers.
See Accessing Triggers.2. Select the Trigger concerned and in the list menu bar, click Update Scheduling.
3. In the Recurrence Pattern section, select the frequency.
E.g.: Daily, Weekly, Monthly.
4. Define the recurrence time.
Defining the Recurrence Time of a Trigger execution
In case the Recurrence Pattern is “Daily", "Weekly", or "Monthly", you must define the Trigger execution recurrence time:
• at a unique time each scheduled execution day
• recurrent on a time range each scheduled execution day
Times are defined in the time zone defined (see Defining the Execution Time Zone) with the hh:mm:ss format.
If you are in the UTC time zone, to facilitate the check of your settings, see Defining your Local Time.To define the recurrence time of a Trigger execution:
1. Access the Triggers.
See Accessing Triggers.2. Select the Trigger concerned and in the list menu bar, click Update Scheduling.
3. In the Recurrence Time section, for:
• a unique execution each scheduled day: keep “Scheduled time” and in the At field set the execution time.
E.g.: 23:30:00
• a multiple execution each scheduled day: select “Several times” and define the recurrence according the pattern: Every <period> from <time 1> to <time2>.
E.g.: every 4 hours from 10 am to 6 pm (in the time zone defined)
Every 04:00:00 from 10:00:00 to 18:00:00
4. Define the recurrence range.
Defining the Recurrence Range of a Trigger Execution
The Trigger execution range is defined by a start and end date in the Scheduling Update window Recurrence Pattern section.
The first date of Trigger execution can be:
• as soon as possible
• at scheduled time
E.g.: on the 08/18/2025 at 18:30:15.
The end date of Trigger execution can be defined by:
• a given date
E.g.: on the 08/30/2025 at 20:30:00.
• a given repeat number
E.g.: schedule the Trigger every 30 minutes from 6am to 10am.
• no end
Times are defined in the time zone defined (see Defining the Execution Time Zone) with the hh:mm:ss format.
If you are in the UTC time zone, to facilitate the check of your settings, see Defining your Local Time.To define the Trigger execution range:
1. Access the Triggers.
See Accessing Triggers.2. Select the Trigger concerned and in the list menu bar, click Update Scheduling.
3. In the Recurrence Range, define the first execution date.
In From, select:
• "As soon as possible” or
• “At scheduled time"
4. (With “At scheduled time") Define the start date and time:
• Use the calendar of the Start date field to select the first date of Trigger execution.
Select Today if you want to define the current day.
• In the Start time field, set the triggering time of the Trigger.
By default the time is set to 00:00:00 (hh:mm:ss format) in the time zone defined (see Defining the Execution Time Zone).
If you are in the UTC time zone, to facilitate the check of your settings, see Defining your Local Time.5. In To, set the end execution date.
E.g.: “End date”, “Repeat N times”, “No end”.
If you selected:
“End date”, set the end date and time:
• Use the calendar of the End date field to select the last date of Trigger execution.
• In the End time field, set the triggering time of the Trigger.
By default the time is set to 00:00:00 (hh:mm:ss format) in the time zone defined (see Defining the Execution Time Zone).
If you are in the UTC time zone, to facilitate the check of your settings, see Defining your Local Time.“Repeat N times”, define the number of occurrences:
• In the End after field, use the arrows to set the number of occurrences.
