  1. To add new actions to the DBA Planning Calendar, you can use one of the following options:

    Note Note

    You can also use drag and drop to move actions within the calendar. If you want to copy an action, keep the CTRL key pressed while using drag & drop.

    End of the note.

    A dialog box appears with the details of an action.

  2. If you chose the first or second option in the first step, you can select the action you want to schedule from the group box Action Description. In the Planned Start field, you can enter date and time when the action is to start. If you are entering an action for today and want to start the action immediately, choose Execute.

    If you chose the final option in the first step, the corresponding action is already listed as default.

    The parameters for the required action are displayed under Action Parameters. They vary depending on the action.

  3. On the Action Parameters tab page, change or enter the basic parameters for the action.

  4. On the Recurrence tab page, enter a recurrence pattern.

    Parameter

    Description

    Recurrence Pattern

    Interval for the action in weeks, days or hours

    Depending on the selected recurrence pattern, you need to specify the pattern in more detail, that is the days of the week for weeks and the hours of the day for a daily period. The action is repeated at the interval you enter. If you select Once only, the action is executed only once.

    Recurrence Range

    Range of time where the action recurs, that is for a specific time interval or for a limited number of occurrences

    Caution Caution

    The system warns you if there is a conflict with an existing action, but it does not prevent you from inserting the new action.

    You must decide whether the actions might conflict in terms of database access or performance. The system does not check for conflicts between actions with identical start times, but checks for actions within a range of approximately 30 minutes.

    End of the caution.

  5. To schedule the action, choose Add.
