Scheduling Time

R_Chung — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 04:12:53 GMT

Hi, I am using sas 9.4 management console. I have deployed a job and seems in the "TriggerOptions", i cannot specific a time myself in the calandar name. There is only something like First_monday_of_month. How could I schedule the job with a specific time?

Thanks

What scheduling server do you use?
Perhaps you could post some screen shots to clarify your steps.

Have you tried entering a time in the hours and minutes boxes? For example if you want your job to run at 06:30 in the morning, put 6 into the hours box and 30 into the minutes box.

No, it doesnt have any changes on the interface. What I want is to custom the time to run the job, 2017-12-24, for instance

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean - "No, it doesnt have any changes on the interface". I use LSF and it has a very similar interface. Specifying the hours and minutes means that the job runs at that time of the day on every day matching the selected interval - for example every Monday or the first day of each month.

If you have a different requirement please explain - do you want different times on different days?

Yes, it also has a very similar interface, specifying the hours and minutes means that the job runs at that time of the day on every day matching the selected interval - for example every Monday or the first day of each month. However, the one I want is that I want to choose a day and the time by myself, for example, this month I want 29/4(Sat)at 12:00 but next month I want 12/5(Fri) at 0900. I want to custom the date myself, not the time.

As I have researched, it can be done by command line,

So, I guess there should be a place for me to custom a specific time on the management interface.
