Run schedule
In the DataSync system, the mechanism to run periodic schedules for transfer jobs on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis helps to automate and ensure that data transfer tasks are performed regularly on a certain cycle. Here is how these periodic scheduling modes work:
Step 1: Determine and configure when to run Transfer Job :
You need to specify the specific time at which you want the transfer job to start running. This time can be configured as a specific date and time with the condition that it is greater than the current datetime .
Step 2: Run Transfer Job:
At the specified time, the DataSync system will automatically trigger the transfer job and start the process of transferring data from source to destination according to the configured parameters.
Schedule a recurring run by Day
The transfer job will run at a specific time every day.
For example
Suppose you want to set up a transfer job to transfer data from a bucket on cloud provider A to container B on vStorage on a daily basis starting from 01/05/2024 to 30/05/2024 at 03:00. The process would be as follows:
Time : 3:00 AM, from 01/05/2025 to 30/05/2024.
Job configuration :
Select when to run the job :
Select the Run Schedule option
Daily Cycle
Select Start date as 01/05/2024, enter time 03:00.
Select End Date as 05/30/2024
Every day from 01/05/2024, at 03:00 the system will run your transfer job.
Schedule regular runs by week
Transfer job will run periodically every 7 days.
For example
Suppose you want to set up a transfer job to transfer data from a bucket on cloud provider A to container B on vStorage every 7 days starting from 01/05/2024 to 30/05/2024 at 03:00. The process would be as follows:
Time : 3:00 AM, from 01/05/2025 to 30/05/2024.
Job configuration :
Select when to run the job :
Select the Run Schedule option
Weekly Cycle
Select Start date as 01/05/2024, enter time 03:00.
Select End Date as 05/30/2024
On 05/01/2024, 05/08/2024, 05/15/2024, 05/22/2024, 05/29/2024 at 03:00 the system will run your transfer job.
Schedule a monthly run
Transfer job will run periodically once a month.
For example
Suppose you want to set up a transfer job to transfer data from a bucket on cloud provider A to container B on vStorage every month starting from 01/01/2024 to 30/06/2024 at 03:00. The process will be as follows:
Time : 3:00 AM, from 01/01/2025 to 06/30/2024.
