Scheduler Chains
Scheduler chain can be useful in combining tasks scheduled for execution.
To create a new scheduler chain:
- select the Database | New Object... main menu item;
- select Scheduler Chain in the Create New Object dialog;
- define scheduler chain properties using the appropriate tabs of Scheduler Chain Editor.
Hint: To create a new scheduler chain, you can also right-click the Scheduler Chain node or any object within this node in the DB Explorer tree and select the Scheduler Chain item from the context menu.
To create a new scheduler chain with the same properties as one of existing scheduler chain has:
- select the Database | Duplicate Object... main menu item;
- follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.
Alternatively, you can right-click a scheduler chain in the DB Explorer tree and select the Duplicate Scheduler Chain <scheduler_chain_name>... context menu item.
Duplicate Object Wizard allows you to select the database to create a new scheduler chain in, and to edit the result SQL statement for creating the scheduler chain.
To edit an existing scheduler chain:
- select the scheduler chain for editing in the DB Explorer tree (type the first letters of the scheduler chain name for quick search);
- right-click the object and select the Edit Scheduler Chain<scheduler_chain_name> context menu item, or simply double-click the scheduler chain;
- edit scheduler chain properties using the appropriate tabs of Scheduler Chain Editor.
To drop a scheduler chain:
- select the scheduler chain to drop in the DB Explorer tree;
- right-click the object and select the Drop Scheduler Chain <scheduler_chain_name>... context menu item;
- confirm dropping in the dialog window.
Note: If more convenient, you can also use the following shortcuts:
Ctrl+N to create a new scheduler chain;
Ctrl+O to edit the selected scheduler chain;
Shift+Del to drop the object from the database.
