Adding Daily Schedule Events

Use this procedure to attach an OpCon event to a daily schedule in Enterprise Manager. Events trigger automated actions — such as adding a job, updating a property, or changing a schedule status — at schedule run time.

Add an event to a daily schedule​

To add an event to a daily schedule, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Enterprise Manager navigation pane, select Daily Maintenance under the Operation topic. The Daily Maintenance screen displays.

  2. Select the expand arrow next to the date that contains the schedule you want to modify.

  3. Select the schedule.

  4. In the Maintenance frame, select Edit Daily. The Schedule Daily screen displays.

  5. Select the Events tab.

  6. In the Events frame, select Add. The Event Definition Wizard displays.

  7. From the Event Template list, select an OpCon event template. For a full list of available templates and syntax, see OpCon Events.

    Example

    $JOB:ADD,<schedule date>,<schedule name>,<job name>,<frequency name>

  8. In the Event Parameters field, place the cursor at the beginning of a <syntax placeholder>, then drag to select the entire placeholder, excluding the surrounding commas — for example, ,<schedule name>,.

  9. Replace the selected placeholder with the appropriate value.

    Result: The placeholder is replaced with the value you typed.

To replace a placeholder with a token (global property), complete the following steps:

  1. Select the syntax placeholder as described in step 8 above.

  2. Select the Insert token button or press Ctrl+T. A list of available global properties displays.

  3. Locate the global property by scrolling, or use the search field. You can use Windows wildcard characters to filter by property name, property value, or both.

  4. Select the global property to insert it.

    note

    Double brackets are automatically placed around the inserted token.

    Example

    $JOB:ADD,[[$SCHEDULE DATE]],Payroll,Emp1,15thofMonth

  5. To discard your placeholder replacements and restore the original parameter syntax, select Reset.

  6. Select Finish to save the event, or Cancel to discard changes.

    Result: The event is saved to the daily schedule.

  7. Select Close to close the Schedule Daily screen.

  8. Select Close to close the Daily Maintenance screen.
