Your Basic Work Flow (continued)
Creating and Using Schedules (continued)
The schedule specifies attributes about when the job is run, such as:
• A start time, which defines when the job is picked for execution and an end time, which
specifies the time after which the job is no longer valid and is not scheduled any more
• An expression specifying a repeating interval for the job
• A complex schedule created by combining existing schedules
• A condition or change in state, called an event, that must be met before the job is started
By using a schedule (instead of specifying the execution times for a job within the job definition),
you can manage the scheduled execution of multiple jobs without having to update multiple job
definitions. If a schedule is modified, each job that uses that schedule automatically uses the new
schedule.

3. Creating and Running a Job
A job is a combination of a schedule and a description of what to do, along with any additional
arguments that are required by the job. There are many attributes that you can set for a job. Attributes
control how the job executes.
