Context Mask. Context mask defines a number of contexts to call the scheduled action from. When scheduled job is launched, selected action is launched in consecutive order from every context that matches to the mask.

mask

Type. Job type, Function or Action.

type

Function. Name of the function to be launched if job Type is Function.

function

Action. Name of the action to be launched if job Type is Action.

action

Parameters. Action-specific parameters. These parameters are used to input when scheduler job executes action in non-interactive mode. For example, if scheduled action requires confirmation (i.e. asks user something like "Delete query?" and allows to click OK or Cancel), this field will contain a "Delete query?" parameter with two possible choices: "OK" and "Cancel".

executeMissed

Condition. Expression evaluated for each job target context, e.g. context matching Context Mask. If this expression returns false, job execution is skipped for this target.

Environment Variables

Standard variables only.

Stop on Success. If this option is enabled, first non-skipped successful job execution for any target context discards all future job executions for this context.

stopOnSuccess

retryCount

Default Threads Count. Base size of job execution thread pool, e.g. number of parallel jobs in normal conditions.

jobThreads

Maximum Threads Count. Maximum size of job execution thread pool, e.g. number of parallel jobs in conditions when jobs execute slowly.

maxJobThreads
