Figure 9 Scheduled Tasks Menu Option

The Scheduled Tasks dialog box displays a list of all currently scheduled tasks. Operations that may be scheduled include Device Backup, Agent Update and Network Discovery. Each task has a name, a start time and how often the task repeats (if applicable). For tasks that are not repeatable, for example, the backup operation, the Repeat column displays N/A.

Only one scheduled task can run at a given time. If two or more tasks are set to run at the same time, the first task is executed and all others enter a pending state, where the Start Time column displays Pending. The pending task is executed immediately after the currently scheduled task finishes.

A scheduled task also enters the pending state if it is scheduled to start but cannot for some reason. For example, if a manual Network Discovery is currently in progress which prevents a scheduled Network Discovery from executing. Once the blocking task has finished the pending scheduled task is executed.

If the following tasks are running:

■Agent Update

■Backup
