Scheduler perspective in the PDI client
When you are finished designing your PDI jobs and transformations and have saved them in the PDI Server, you can schedule them to run at specific times.
All your active scheduled jobs and transformations are listed in the schedules table in PDI, which you can get to by clicking the Perspectives icon (Item 1 below) and then selecting Scheduler in the menu.
The schedules table shows which jobs and transformations are scheduled to run, the recurrence pattern for the schedule, when it was last run, when it is set to run again, and the current state of the schedule.
Note: You can also create your own schedule using cron on Linux, the Task Scheduler on Windows, or the at command on Windows. If you do this, you will need to call the schedule using Pan or Kitchen commands.
You can use the icons in the PDI scheduler toolbar (Item 2, above) to edit and maintain each of your schedules, as described in the following table.
