What Is It?
The Perform a Fast Schedule Check skill runs a fast integrity check on a named daily schedule for a specified date. When you ask Otto to check a schedule, it locates the matching daily schedule, submits a fast check request to the OpCon API, and polls for a result for up to 30 seconds.
- If a log file is available within 30 seconds, Otto returns the log file path and a View Log File Details link.
- If no log file is available within 30 seconds, Otto returns the message
Fast schedule check submitted. Please check log files for results.
This skill maps to the perform-a-fast-schedule-check chat tool in the OpCon API.
How It Works
When you ask Otto to perform a fast schedule check, the skill validates your request before submitting it:
- The Schedule Name and Date values cannot be empty.
- The Date value must be a parseable date. An invalid date string is rejected.
- The named schedule must exist as a daily schedule for the specified date. If no matching daily schedule is found, the request is rejected.
If validation succeeds, Otto submits a fast schedule check request for the resolved daily schedule and waits up to 30 seconds for a log file to be generated.
Required Privileges
To use this skill, you must have the Chatbot Privileges function privilege. Users with All Admin Privileges or All Function Privileges also have access. If Otto is disabled at the server level, this skill is not available regardless of user privileges.
Otto is available exclusively to cloud customers. On-premises customers do not have access to Otto or its skills.

FAQs
Q: What does Otto return when the schedule check succeeds?
If a log file is generated within 30 seconds, Otto returns the log file path and a View Log File Details link. If the check is still running when the 30-second limit is reached, Otto returns Fast schedule check submitted. Please check log files for results.
Q: Why was my request rejected?
The most common reasons are: the Schedule Name or Date value is empty, the Date value cannot be parsed, or no daily schedule with the given name exists for the specified date.
