Getting Started Guide > Executing Subscription/Job

The two ways to execute the subscription/job:

• Setting Schedules
• Running Manually

Setting Schedules:

Scheduling is the process of assigning time to execute a subscription/job. You can automate the replication process using scheduling. The two modes for setting scheduling:

• Real Time – Enables you to execute the subscription /job continuously without any time delay. The execution starts automatically as you set schedules on the subscription/job.
• Non Real Time – Enables you to execute the subscription/job in the scheduled time only. For example, if you want to execute the job after two months, you can set the scheduled time as two months.

You need to specify the subscription/job in the schedule on which you want to perform scheduling. The steps to set schedules:

1. Select Schedule Add Schedule in the Replicator window to display the scheduling options, as shown in the following figure:

   • Start Date – Select starting date of the schedule when you want to start the execution of the job.
   • End Date – Select end date of the schedule when you want to end the execution of the job.
   • Start Time – Select starting time of the schedule when you want to start the execution of the job.
