The Scheer PASCron 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.
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.
You can access the cron manager via the corresponding tile in the Scheer PASPortal.
If you click on the cron manager tile, the application will open within the portal.
