This option specifies a schedule for
running an object. Each parameter in the Run object list has its own specific
data entry requirements.
The following parameters are available:
Now
When you click Schedule, the object
runs once (immediately).
Once
This option requires a start and end
time parameter. The object runs once at the time that you specify. If you
schedule the object with events, the object will run once if the event is
triggered between the start and end times.
Hourly
This option requires information in
hours and/or minutes for how frequently the object is run. Instances are
created regularly to match the parameters that you enter. The first instance is
created at the start time that you specify, and the object will cease to run on
its hourly schedule at the end time that you specify.
Daily
This option requires a start and end
time parameter. The object runs once every N days at the time that you specify.
It will not be run after the end time that you specify.

time parameter. Each week, the object runs on the selected days at the time
that you specify. It will not be run after the end time that you specify.

This option requires a start date and
time, along with a recurrence interval in months. The object runs on the
specified date and time every N months. It will not be run after the end time
that you specify.
Nth Day of
Month
This option requires a day of the
month on which the object is run. Instances are created regularly each month on
the day that you enter at the start time that you specify. The object will not
be run after the end time that you specify.
1st Monday
of Month
This option requires a start and end
time parameter. An instance is created on the first Monday of each month at the
time that you specify. The object will not be run after the end time that you

time parameter. An instance is created monthly on a day of a week that you
specify. The object will not be run after the end time that you specify.
Calendar
This option allows you to select a
calendar of dates. (Calendars are customized lists of schedule dates that are
created by the BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator.) An instance is
created on each day that is indicated in the calendar, beginning at the start
time that you specify and continuing until the end time that you specify.
