You can create a schedule for running a data change task. You can:
  • Create a schedule for data change tasks that use any source type other than file upload.
  • Create 1 active schedule per data change task.
  • Define schedules to run on a recurring basis (Example: daily, weekly, or monthly).
  • Define schedules to run only if another Prism scheduled process completes at a status you specify.
  1. Access the
    View Data Change Task
     report for the data change task you want to create a schedule for.
  2. Select
    Data Change Task
    Create Schedule
     from the related actions menu.
  3. In
    Run Frequency
    , specify how often to run the data change task.
    The choices include creating a dependent schedule.
  4. Select the criteria for the schedule.
  5. (Recurring schedules) As you configure the schedule, consider:
    Option Description
    Priority
    Unavailable for data change task schedules.
    Catch Up Behavior
    Select how many times the scheduled data change runs after maintenance issues cause errors.
  6. (Dependent schedules) As you configure the schedule, consider:
    Option Description
    Dependency
    Select a Prism-related schedule on which the data change task schedule depends.
    Trigger on Status
    Select the status of the scheduled future process that causes the data change task to run.
    Workday recommends using one of the completed statuses.
    Time Delayed Configurations
    (Optional) Specify the number of days, hours, or minutes to delay running the data change task after the trigger.
Workday runs the data change task based on the criteria that you specify, creating a data change activity. View the status of all scheduled processes on the:
  • Data Change Activities
     tab of the
    Data Catalog
     report.
  • Prism Activities Monitor
     report.
  • Prism Activities Dashboard
     report.
Workday assigns a name to the schedule based on the name of the data change task and prepends
Execute Data Change Schedule:
 to the name. You can change the name of the schedule in the
Request Name
 field when you edit the schedule. Workday displays this name in the
Prism Activities Monitor
,
Prism Activities Dashboard
,
Process Monitor
, and
Scheduled Future Processes
 reports to help you identify a specific process request.
From the related actions menu of the data change task, you can:
  • View the schedule details.
  • Edit the schedule.
  • Expire the schedule.
