How to Schedule a Data Warehouse Job

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Service Manager 2010 SP1

You can use the following procedure to schedule a data warehouse job in System Center Service Manager 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

You could use this procedure in a scenario where a schedule for the data warehouse jobs has been defined in Service Manager 2010 SP1. You want to change the schedule for the data warehouse jobs to define standard maintenance windows for the Service Manager database and for the data warehouse. Use the Set-SCDWJobSchedule cmdlet to schedule the data warehouse jobs. The Set-SCDWJobSchedule –ScheduleType Weekly cmdlet and parameter combination allows jobs to run only on the days you specify. For example, the following commands define a daily or weekly schedule.

Set-SCDWJobSchedule -JobName Transform.Common –ScheduleType Daily -DailyFrequency  01:00:00 -DailyStart 06:00

Set-SCDWJobSchedule -JobName Transform.Common -ScheduleType Weekly -WeeklyFrequency Tuesday, Thursday -WeeklyStart 06:00

Note

To run Windows PowerShell cmdlets, the execution policy must be set to RemoteSigned. For more information, see Getting Started with the Service Manager Cmdlets (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=129134) in the System Center Service Manager Deployment Guide.

In the following procedure, you set a schedule for the Transform job to run every 45 minutes starting at 2:00 in the morning. However, you can modify the commands to set your own schedule.
