Submit a Job Using the Job Scheduler Wizard

To submit a job using the Job Scheduler Wizard, perform the following procedure:

1. Open the Job Scheduler Wizard.

   The Job Scheduler Wizard welcome page appears.

2. On the Welcome screen, if you want to use the default server, add a check in the Use Default Server check box and click Next.
   • If you check this, you skip the login screen.
   • If you do not check this and click Next, the login screen appears. If you use the default server, skip steps 3 and 4.
3. Select the local server name for the machine you want to submit the job to.

   Important! You can only submit jobs on your local Windows machines. If you select a remote machine, a message appears indicating that you cannot use the Job Scheduler Wizard to submit jobs on remote machines and you will not be able to continue.

4. Enter your User Name and Password to log into the domain, and then click Next.
5. When the command page appears, enter or select a program in the Run this program field.

   You can use the drop-down menu to select a program or click the Browse button to search for programs on your local machine or on a remote machine.

   Note: The Browse button browses only the local machine. The Job Scheduler Wizard does not support remote machines.

6. Enter parameters for the job.

   For example:

   If you entered ca_restore in the Run this program field, you can enter -source <Source Path> -dest <Destination Path> as the parameters.

   Click Help to view the parameters associated with the command you entered in the Run this program field. If you do not enter a command and click Help, a list of command line utilities appears. From this list, click a command to view its associated parameters.

   Important! The Job Scheduler Wizard does not validate parameters. If the parameters are wrong, the job still submits, but does not run. Therefore, you must make sure that you enter parameters accurately and correctly.

7. When you finish selecting a program and entering parameters, click Next.
8. When the Schedule page appears, select one of the following options:
   • Select Run Now to execute the job immediately.
   • Select Schedule to execute the job at a specific time and date or to schedule the job to repeat. Then, select a date and time to run the job in the Start Date/Time field. If you want the job to repeat, select a Repeat Method and associated criteria.
9. When you finish scheduling the job, click Next.

   When the summary page appears, displaying a summary of what you selected.

10. Verify your job selections and enter a description of this job in the Description field.

    This description appears in the description column in the Job Queue and can be used to identify the job.

11. Click Submit.

    A message appears to indicate the job was successful and the Job Number, which you can use to identify the job in the Job Queue. If the job fails, a message appears to indicate that it failed and the error code or a short message explaining the error.
