Schedule Export Edit

In the Schedule Export Manager, you adjust any schedule export descriptor(s) shown by selecting (highlighting) it and clicking the Edit button at the bottom of the view (or on the toolbar).

NoteUnlike in other Manager views, a double-click on a descriptor is not the same as Edit. Instead, double-click provides the Scheduler view for that exported schedule component. This can be useful to review and if necessary, make changes to its configuration. For related details, refer to the section “Schedule component views” in the User Guide.

Edit

The Edit dialog appears with the schedule export descriptor listed (Figure 101).

Niagara Schedule Export properties

Properties in the Edit dialog of a schedule export descriptor are:

  • Enabled

    By default true. While set to false (export descriptor disabled), export connections are not attempted to update the remote (imported) schedule.

  • Execution Time

    Determines when an export update is made to the remote (imported) schedule, providing that a configuration change occurred in the local schedule that requires synchronization (export). For more details, see Niagara schedule import/export default configuration.Options are either Daily, Interval (default), or Manual. If Manual, the following properties are unavailable:

    • Time of Day (Daily)

      Configurable to any daily time. Default is 2:00am.

    • Randomization (Daily)

      When the next execution time calculates, a random amount of time between zero milliseconds and this interval is added to the Time of Day. May prevent “server flood” issues if too many schedule exports are executed at the same time. Default is zero (no randomization).

    • Days of Week (Daily and Interval)

      Select (check) days of week for archive execution. Default is all days of week.

    • Interval (Interval)

      Specifies repeating interval for export execution. Default is every 15 minutes.

    • Time of Day (Interval)

      Specifies start and end times for interval. Default is 24-hours (start 12:00am, end 11:59pm).
