Scheduler Job Header

In the Scheduler Job Header table, you set up scheduler jobs to be run by the scheduler.

Each job has a unique identification number. You need to specify which report, dataport or codeunit carries out the job. You define how often the job should be run and any restrictions depending on the weekday or time of day. You also select how the scheduler handles errors that occur when running the job. For each scheduler job, you must select aScheduler Job Type Code, a From-Location Code and Job Receiver Group.

When you set up scheduler jobs to replicate data (replication jobs), you set up both scheduler job header and Scheduler Job Line. The scheduler job lines contain a Scheduler Subjob that includes the necessary information for replication, such as the table to replicate and the replication method. LS Retail provides a codeunit, Data Distribution, for carrying out replication.

Object Setup can include extra values that may change the behavior of the job. See help for those jobs if they require any extra values to be set there. DD Setup has extra configuration values used to overwrite default values set by Data Director.

When the scheduler runs the replication job, the Data Distribution codeunit updates table data in the database it replicates to (defined by the distribution filters), according to the subjobs assigned to the replication job.
