Scheduler Dialog

This dialog displays different information depending on whether you have defined a Refresh, Mirroring or Synchronization replication. It also allows you to set a schedule for running the Verifier:

• Refresh Schedule
  Set a schedule for times to run a refresh replication.

• Mirroring Schedule
  Set a schedule for interruptions to recurring mirroring replications. Note that you set a start time for the interruption and a duration for the interruption (not an end time.)

• Verifier Schedule
  Set a schedule for times to run the verification. Note that you can also choose to have the process reconcile any differences between the source and target data.

Scheduler Times

Recurrence

First select how often you want the operation to occur. Depending on your choice, the right side of the dialog updates to show the different options associated with your choice. For example, if you choose to refresh Weekly, the right side displays the days of the week so that you can choose which day you want to run the refresh.

Schedule Times

Based on your choices in the Recurrence area, this area updates to display checkboxes allowing you to select times for running the operation. Note that you can select multiple times. For example, if you have chosen to run the refresh weekly, you could then set two times so that the refresh runs at 6 a.m. and at 12 midnight once per week on Mondays.

When scheduling mirroring interruptions, select a start time and then enter a duration for the interruption.

Opening the Scheduler Dialog

This dialog is available from the Replication wizard, or from the Schedule tab in the Replication Properties dialog.
