Working With the Cron Manager

Note on Cron Users

Users with cron permission have access to all available cron jobs.
The cron jobs are executed in the user context of the logged-in user. Therefore we recommend to use a special cron user to use the application to ensure that the jobs always run in the same context.

Using the Job List

All available cron jobs are displayed in the job list on the cron manager start page.

Activated jobs are displayed in blue.
Inactive jobs are shown in grey.

The options in the navigation bar of the job list support you during your work:

Icon	Description
	Use this option to create a new job. Refer to Creating a Cron Job for details.
	Use this option to refresh the job list.
	A filter field to search the job list. See Filtering the Job List for details.

Managing Cron Jobs

The job list shows all available cron jobs. A separate tile is displayed for each job, containing the main information of the job:

Name

Date and time of the last execution

In the tile header of an active job you will find the following quick actions:

Icon	Description
	Use this option to deactivate the job.
	Use this option to execute the job.
	Use this option to delete the job.

In the tile header of an inactive job you will find the following quick actions:

Icon	Description
	Use this option to activate the job.
	Use this option to execute the job.
