In Usage Engine, streams can be scheduled to run at a specific time or day as required. Select how frequently you want the stream to run and also add rules for scheduling. After scheduling a stream, you can also view the assigned schedule rules or cancel the schedule.
Note!
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:
- You run the scheduled stream manually
or - Open the Schedule Settings page and click on Save Settings option again (even if you have not made any changes to the schedule)
- You run the scheduled stream manually
- You can start or restart a scheduled stream on demand.
Note!
If a Stream is already running when a new execution request is triggered by a Schedule, this will be ignored to avoid duplicated executions and concurrency with the data. This means that the next automatic execution request will not happen until the next Schedule.
