Managing SIL™ Scheduler
The SIL™ Scheduler feature enables you to run SIL™ scripts after a valid Jira interval or using a CRON expression.
Starting with version 4.0.0 of Power Scripts™, the jobs are persistent that is they are kept alive towards Jira restarts. You can read about scheduling jobs here: Scheduling routines. This mechanism uses the same scheduling engine, thus the same notes apply.
Each scheduled job has the following properties:
- Scheduler type - either interval or CRON expression
- Schedule - valid Jira interval or a CRON expression
- Repeatable - if you use a Jira interval, you can define whether the job should repeat at the specified interval
- Script - SIL Script that will run using the schedule that you define
- Arguments - job arguments
- Run script as - if specified, the script will run as if by this user
To schedule a CRON job, change the type to "CRON" and enter a valid schedule (CRON expression).
Info
To edit the actual scripts, use the SIL™ Manager.
After saving the added job, a new entry is added to the table on the Administration page.
We have removed standard services from Power Scripts™ for Jira v4.0 - all your scripts will be migrated to the scheduler, because it provides a more flexible mechanism.
