Accessing the Cron Manager

The Scheer PAS Cron Manager enables users of the platform to schedule jobs to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. This chapter explains how to use the Cron Manager to create and maintain your cron jobs. Only users with profile cron_manager are able to use the application.

Note on Cron Users

Users with cron permission have access to all available cron jobs.
