Run one time

In the DataSync system, the one-time scheduled transfer job operates in the following way:

Step 1: Determine and configure when to run Transfer Job:

• You need to specify the specific time you want the transfer job to start running.

• This time can be configured as a specific date and time provided it is greater than the current datetime.

Step 2: Run Transfer Job:

• At the specified time, the DataSync system will automatically activate the transfer job and begin the process of transferring data from source to destination according to configured parameters.

For example

Suppose you want to transfer data from a bucket on cloud provider A to a container on vstorage at 3:00 a.m. on May 20, 2024. The process will be as follows:

1. Determine time: 3:00 AM, May 20, 2024.

2. Job configuration:

• Choose when to run the job:

  • Select the Run once option

  • Select date May 20, 2024, enter time 03:00.

  The system will automatically start the job at 3:00 AM, May 20, 2024.

Note:

• If you change the run date and time parameters of a transfer job in the DataSync system, the system will run the job at the new time you specified. Specifically if you change the date and time to:

  • Future Time: If the new time is in the future, the job will be run at that exact time without any further action on your part.

  • Past Time: If you change the job run time to a past time, the system may not automatically run the job. In this case, you need to reset the time to a reasonable time or trigger the job manually.
