Submitting a Scheduled Job

A scheduled job is an XML job ticket that has a specified time or recurring interval associated with it, that is, the job ticket is to be executed at a defined schedule. A job ticket alone without a schedule is processed one time when it is submitted. A “scheduled job” is different from a “job” because of the schedule, which dictates when and how often the job ticket is processed.

A scheduled job can run when an InSight Rendering server is turned on, but nobody is logged on to the server. Using InSight Rendering this way is referred to as using it in non-interactive mode.

In InSight Rendering, there are two ways to submit a scheduled job ticket: the Scheduled Work Wizard provided with the Watch Manager application, or the scheduled job dialog provided with the Domain Manager application. Both user interfaces function the same way, differing only in their presentation.
