In Usage Engine, streams can be scheduled to run at a specific time as required. Add the scheduling rules and select how often you want the stream to run. After scheduling a stream, you can also view the assigned schedule rules or cancel the schedule.
Note!
The default timezone is Etc/UTC. UTC is Coordinated Universal Time and it never observes Daylight Saving Time. Click here to learn how to convert the UTC timezone to the current local time.
When scheduling in days, weeks or months, you can select a different timezone.
Some things to remember while scheduling streams:
You can make changes to an already scheduled stream, however, the stream will not reflect the changes unless:
a) You run the scheduled stream manually
or
b) You open the Schedule Settings page and click on the Save Settings option again (even if you have not made any changes to the schedule)
You can start or restart a scheduled stream on demand.
Note!
If a currently running stream receives a new request to run, either manually or triggered by a schedule, the request will be ignored to avoid duplicate runs. The stream will run at the next scheduled time and only if the status is Complete or Failed.
