Setting up the prototype job schedule

Although you can manually run a provisioning job, most provisioning jobs run automatically based on a trigger schedule. This example procedure demonstrates how to configure each of the three job prototypes to backup a total of 12 different stations per provisioning job. This includes adjusting each TriggerSchedule to a slightly different time of execution. For example, you may have one backup provisioning job scheduled at 12:30AM, another at 1:00AM, and another at 1:30AM.

All stations are properly configured for platform connections.
  1. To go to the Trigger Schedule view, double-click the linked TriggerSchedule and add a new event on the left side, for example: Type: Week and Day: Sat, Any Week, Any Month (for a weekly backup), and on the right side add an “off hours” time, for example: 12:30AM.
  2. Click to Save this schedule configuration.
    Later, after duplicating this component and re-configuring, you will select a slightly different off-hours time.
  3. With the NiagaraNetworkJobPrototype linked to the TriggerSchedule, select both components, then right-click and select Duplicate. This puts another linked pair on the wire sheet.
  4. Move the copied linked pair to a new spot on the wire sheet, and repeat this procedure again.
