Connect Jobs Module

RapidIdentity Product Guide

Connect Jobs Module

In RapidIdentity, an Action Set that has been configured and scheduled to run at a predetermined time is called a job. The Connect Jobs Module shows each of the jobs that have been previously built and scheduled, and provides administrators with the ability to create, configure, run, and manage jobs.

To create a new job, click Add Job +. The resulting right sidebar will have two tabs: Details and Schedule.

Add Job - Details Tab

This tab holds the majority of the configuration data for the job. The menu's screenshot has been split into two for spacing purposes.

Skip if Previous Instance Still Running

Click this checkbox to disregard the scheduled run time if a previous instance of the job is still running

Enable Timeout

This setting is used to keep jobs from running indefinitely. When enabled, enter the number of seconds to allow the job to run. If the job takes longer than this time, the job will be cancelled.

Note

Setting the value to less than or equal to 0 indicates that there is no timeout.

Attach Trace Log

Log Retention

Retention policy for the job log. There are three options:

Inherit - Use the same log retention policy as the parent project
Always Retain - Keep all logs until manually deleted. Note that this will eventually take up a significant portion of space on the server
Retain For - Number of days the logs should be kept before automatic deletion

Add Job - Schedule Tab

The Schedule tab provides a granular timing interface where the job can be scheduled to run by minute, hour, day, and/or month. Note that the final schedule is cumulative, and all four time categories can be used to customize the run times for that job.
