Scheduled Operations module
In order to use the Scheduled Operations facility, a user must have (or be a member of a group that has) both the daInsert
permission and Table Access to the Operations module (eoperations).
By default, three operations are available: Delete, Image Import and Merge. Additional operations can be defined. See How to create an additional type of Scheduled Operation for details.
The Scheduled Operations facility enables the scheduling of operations to be run immediately or at a specified date and time. Operations are scheduled in the Scheduled Operations module, which is accessed by selecting in the Command Centre.
With the Scheduled Operations facility it is possible to define:
- The type of operation to run
- The module to apply the operation to
- A time to commence the operation
- People to notify when the operation is complete
A scheduled operation is defined and stored as a record in the Scheduled Operations module.
When a scheduled operation is run, any files created during the operation are listed in the Result Files table on the Operation tab. Result files can be viewed and saved.
Audit logs are produced for all scheduled operations, allowing suitably authorized users to search / view the results of all operations performed by all users.
EMu supports three types of scheduled operation:
- Merge Records
- Delete Records
- Image Import
Note: System Administrators can define additional types of Scheduled Operation. See How to create an additional type of Scheduled Operation for details.
