Configuring a CygNet Alarm Manager Schedule

The CAM jobs are scheduled with the CAM - Job Scheduler.csf CygNet Studio screen that is provided as part of the CAM installation.

• Click New to open the Schedule dialog box where the schedule properties are configured
• Click Edit to open the Schedule dialog box to modify schedule properties for previously created schedules

There are two sections of a scheduled job. The first is the schedule itself where frequency and execution time is configured. The second part defines which jobs to run. A schedule can be configured to execute more than one job at a time.
