Scheduling jobs
Once a job has been developed and tested, it can be deployed into production use. Most integration jobs tend to run on some sort of schedule-every day, every hour, every Monday at 9 a.m., and so on.
The Studio does not offer a built-in scheduling tool, but through the job export options we can package up all of the code required to run a job outside of the Studio. As noted previously, this package includes a shell script to execute the job under either Windows or Linux/Unix. The shell scripts can be scheduled using your operating system's native tools, Windows Task Scheduler or, on Linux, Cron, or there are many scheduling tools, both open source and proprietary, that can be used to schedule the shell scripts.
