Scheduling a Task 

Use

You use Task Planner to schedule operations to be executed automatically based on the date and attributes defined during the task definition. You can schedule a new task(s) such as starting an application service, to occur once or repeatedly (a recurring task).

A recurring task is a task that can repeat at regular intervals based on the date and attributes defined during task definition.
