Syntax

create schedule

schedule-specification "specification"

task-name task-name

schedule-name

Parameters schedule-specification "specification"
Defines when the task first runs, and optionally when it recurs and expires. You can use a comma to separate optional conditions. Dates cannot be in the past. For times, if AM or PM is not specified, a 24-hour clock is used.
  • start yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm[AM|PM]

    Specifies a date and time to be the first instance when the scheduled task runs, and to be the starting point for any specified recurrence.

  • [every # minutes|hours|days|weeks|months|years]

    Specifies the interval at which the task runs.

    For better performance when scheduling a TakeSnapshot task that runs under heavy I/O conditions or on more than three volumes, the retention count and the schedule interval should be set to similar values. For example if the retention count is 10 then the interval should be set to 10 minutes.

    For a Replicate task, the minimum interval is 30 minutes

  • [between hh:mm[AM|PM] and hh:mm[AM|PM]]

    Constrains the time range during which the task is permitted to run. Ensure that the start time is within the specified time range.

  • [only any|first|second|third|fourth|fifth|last|#st|#nd|#rd|#th day|weekday|weekendday| Sunday|Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday of year|month|January|February| March|April|May|June|July|August|September|October|November|December]

    Constrains the days or months when the task is permitted to run. Ensure that this constraint includes the start date.

  • [count #]

    Constrains the number of times the task is permitted to run.

  • [expires yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm[AM|PM]]

    Specifies when the schedule expires, after which the task no longer runs.
