Daily

Use the Daily schedule to run the policy action on specific days or at specific times each week.

With ZENworks® for Servers, a Daily schedule, combined with the Random option and a Distributor's Maximum Number of Concurrent Distributions option, can help the Distributor's load balancing by effectively spreading all resource use over the entire day's scheduling window, preventing spikes that could occur if all Subscribers wanted to be serviced at the beginning of the scheduling window.

Select the Days on Which You Want the Policy Run
Select the days you want to run the policy action. A day is selected when its button is depressed. By default, Monday through Friday are selected.

If the Distributor is refreshed or re-reads Novell® eDirectoryTM before the current day's time window has passed, the event will run on the current day, then every day thereafter; otherwise, it will run for the first time during the next open time window (on the next day), then every day thereafter.

Start the Policy Between the Hours Of
Use the following options to determine the time window when the policy action will run.

Start Time
Select the earliest time that the policy action can run.

End Time
Select the latest time that the policy action can run.

Randomly Dispatch During Time Period
Select this option to start the policy action randomly during the selected time window.

Repeat the Action Every
Select this option if you want to repeat the policy action at a regular interval between the start and end times. In the Hours, Minutes, and Seconds fields, select how often to repeat the action. You can leave any of the options at zero, but you must have a practical value in at least one of the time increments.
