In addition to the time-of-day settings, schedules may contain these options:
Repeat only until first success. If this option is chosen, the task will be run at the normal intervals as long as no previous run in that schedule has successfully downloaded and processed files. Once a task succeeds in retrieving and processing at least one file, all further runs in that schedule are suppressed until the next day. This feature can be useful in reducing the load on remote servers, and on MOVEit Automation itself, if you know that only one batch of files will appear within a given time range. This option is ignored if all sources are subject to file notifications.
Log failure if no files found during scheduled run. If this option is chosen, then during the last run of a task during the schedule, the run will fail if no runs during that schedule have succeeded in downloading and processing at least one file. This can be useful if, for instance, you expect a customer to place a file on a server every Friday between 1:00AM and 5:00AM. You can schedule a task to run, say, every 10 minutes during that time. If by the last run in that period (at 5:00 AM), no file has appeared, MOVEit Automation will declare that run to have failed. If you choose this option, you will probably want to designate a Next Action / Failure setting for the task.
Run even if notifications are enabled for the host. If this option is chosen, then the task will be run according to this schedule even if all associated source hosts have file notifications enabled. See file notifications for more information.
