Job Scheduler (Beta)

Enterprise Applicable to Enterprise tier only

PrimeHub has Job Submission feature that we can submit a one-time job immediately for running asynchronously; however, we sometimes want to submit certain jobs regularly according schedules. PrimeHub, hence, provides another feature, Job Schedule that we can create Schedules which are responsible for submitting jobs regularly according to the recurrence setting for us.

We can access Schedule feature inside Job Submission from the portal.

Schedules List

In the Schedule list, there are some information of each Schedule:

Column	Description
Name	The name of the Schedule.
Group	The group where the triggered job runs.
Recurrence	The recurrence of the trigger if any.
Next Run	time when a job will be triggered next time.
Created By	The owner of job/Schedule.
Action	The action buttons are trigger, edit and delete in sequence.

• Schedule Job button: Click the button to create a Schedule.

• Refresh button: Click the button to refresh the list.

Filter

Using Group selection as a filter.

• Default (when Group selection is blank): it lists all of schedules submitted from groups where the user belongs to, in other words, schedules from other groups are not listed.

• Filter by Group: Selects Groups and it lists schedules ONLY belonging to these groups.

• Filter by Submitted: If Submitted by Me is checked off, it lists schedules ONLY submitted by the user.

Creating a Schedule is almost as same as creating a job, in addition to the settings of Group, InstanceTypes, Images, Command, we can set extra Recurrence Options setting.

• Group: Select a group where the the job belongs to.

• InstanceTypes: Select a instance type which allocates resources for the job.

• Images: Select an image which the job run bases on.

  we can select one of presets of rules or customize a rule based on Cron syntax [Reference].
