The Schedule window in iDempiere defines reusable scheduling configurations that determine when a background process should run. Each Schedule specifies either a Frequency-based interval or a Cron Scheduling Pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Schedule does not run a process by itself. It is assigned to a Schedule Process, which uses the configuration to control execution timing for reports, maintenance jobs, and synchronization tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStep 1: Create a Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis step is required to establish a new, reusable scheduling definition before it can be linked to any background process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the Schedule window and create a new record.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSaving the record creates a new Schedule that can later be assigned to a Schedule Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Configure a Frequency Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis step is required when recurring execution should occur at a fixed, repeating interval such as every few minutes or hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set Schedule Type to Frequency, then select a Frequency Type and enter a Frequency value representing the repeat interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\nField<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>Schedule Type<\/td> Frequency<\/td> Enables interval-based scheduling fields<\/td><\/tr> Frequency Type<\/td> Minute<\/td> Unit of time used for the repeat interval<\/td><\/tr> Frequency<\/td> 30<\/td> Number of Frequency Type units between executions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith these values, the Schedule represents an execution interval of every two hours once assigned to a Schedule Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Configure a Cron Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis step is required for more complex or precise timing needs that a simple interval cannot express, such as running only on specific days or times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set Schedule Type to Cron Scheduling Pattern and enter a valid Cron expression. The pattern is validated when the record is saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\nField<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>Schedule Type<\/td> Cron Scheduling Pattern<\/td> Enables Cron-based scheduling<\/td><\/tr> Cron Scheduling Pattern<\/td> Valid Cron expression<\/td> Defines the exact execution timing pattern<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf an invalid value such as “abc” is entered, iDempiere displays the error InvalidCronPattern and prevents saving until a valid expression is provided. A valid pattern is saved and made available for assignment to a Schedule Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Configure Optional Settings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThese optional fields refine how and where the Schedule is applied once assigned to a Schedule Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter an IP address or hostname in Run only on IP if execution should be restricted to a specific scheduler node. Enable System Schedule or Ignore Processing Time as needed, and confirm the Active flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\nField<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>Run only on IP<\/td> 192.168.0.53<\/td> IP address or hostname evaluated during scheduler registration<\/td><\/tr> System Schedule<\/td> Unchecked<\/td> Optional flag identifying the record as a System Schedule<\/td><\/tr> Ignore Processing Time<\/td> Unchecked<\/td> Optional setting inherited by the associated Schedule Process<\/td><\/tr> Active<\/td> Checked<\/td> Determines whether the Schedule is available for use<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce saved, the Schedule is ready for selection in the Schedule Process window, where it controls the execution timing of the assigned process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Configure a Frequency Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis step is required when recurring execution should occur at a fixed, repeating interval such as every few minutes or hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set Schedule Type to Frequency, then select a Frequency Type and enter a Frequency value representing the repeat interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\nField<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>Schedule Type<\/td> Frequency<\/td> Enables interval-based scheduling fields<\/td><\/tr> Frequency Type<\/td> Minute<\/td> Unit of time used for the repeat interval<\/td><\/tr> Frequency<\/td> 30<\/td> Number of Frequency Type units between executions<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWith these values, the Schedule represents an execution interval of every two hours once assigned to a Schedule Process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Configure a Cron Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis step is required for more complex or precise timing needs that a simple interval cannot express, such as running only on specific days or times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set Schedule Type to Cron Scheduling Pattern and enter a valid Cron expression.
