Validity period	Period within which the schedule is run. If the schedule will be run for an unlimited period, select the Unlimited duration option. To set a validity period, select the Limited duration option and enter the day the schedule will be run for the last time in End (date).
Occurs	Interval in which the task is run. Other settings may be required depending on the settings. Every minute: The schedule is run once a minute. The starting point is calculated from the rate of occurrence and the interval type. Hourly: The schedule is run at defined intervals of a multiple of hours such as every two hours. Under Repeat every, specify after how many hours the schedule is run again. The starting point is calculated from the rate of occurrence and the interval type.

Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule. Under Repeat every, specify after how many months the schedule is run again. Specify the days of the month (1st - 31st of the month). NOTE: If the Monthly interval type with the sub interval 29, 30 or 31 does not exist in this month, the last day of the month is used.
