Configuring Recurrence

The scheduling engine of Remote Installer allows you to schedule recurring tasks quickly and easily. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the range of the recurrence types to be used and describe each of them. The recurrence options are available from the Edit Task Recurrence Pic 1 dialog while the task is being scheduled.

There are four recurrence types available: Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly. Let us take a closer look on each one of them.

Daily Recurrence Type

The Daily recurrence type should be used if the recurrence condition is based on the number of days between the task execution instances. You can choose to execute the task every N days, where N is the number of days constituting the task execution interval, or every weekday.

Example

Weekly Recurrence Type

The Weekly recurrence type should be used if the recurrence condition is based on a particular day of the week and the interval in weeks. You can choose to execute the task, for example, on Mondays and Wednesdays every second week.

Example

Monthly Recurrence Type

The Monthly recurrence type should be used if the recurrence condition is based on a particular day of the month and the interval in months. You can choose to execute the task, for example, every second Friday of every month or every sixteenth day of every third month, etc.

Example

Yearly Recurrence Type

The Yearly recurrence type should be used if the recurrence condition is based on a yearly range. You can choose to execute the task, for example, every November the sixteenth, every third Wednesday in July, etc.
