Yearly: The schedule is run at a defined interval of years, on a specific day, at a specified time such as every year on the 1st, the 100th, and the 200th day at 6am and 6pm.
-
Under Start time, specify the times to run the schedule.
-

Under Repeat every, specify after how many days of the month the schedule is run again. The values 1 to 4, -1 (last day of the week), and -2 (last day but one of the week) are permitted.
-
Specify in which month to run the schedule. The values 1 to 12 are permitted. If the value is empty, the schedule is run each month. |

Start time |
Fixed start time Enter the time in local format for the chosen time zone. If there is a list of start times, the schedule is started at each of the given times. |
|
Repeat every |
Rate of occurrence for running the schedule within the selected time interval. |
|
Last planned run/Next planned run |
Activation time calculated by the DBQueue Processor. Activation times are recalculated whilst the schedule is running. The time of the next run is calculated from the interval type, rate of occurrence, and the start time.
NOTE: One Identity Manager provides the start information in the time zone of the client where the program was started. Changes due to daylight saving are taken into account. |

The DBQueue Processor performs starts and checks schedules at regular intervals. First, all schedules are found that are enabled and within the valid time period. A task is queued in the DBQueue for each schedule to be run. Then the time for the next scheduled run is calculated and entered in the schedule.
For tasks with the Every minute and Hourly interval types, the next planned activation time will be determined from the time at which the schedule runs, how often it runs, and the specified time zone. For schedules with the interval types Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly, the next planned activation time will be determined from the current day, the specified subinterval and the start time within the specified time zone.
Behavior of new schedules
When a new active schedule is added, the next scheduled run is calculated immediately. This is calculated on the basis on the start date or the current date of the next scheduled run. The time between runs is not taken into account.
The task is run if the activation time has been reached. When the next scheduled run is calculated, this time the interval will be taken into account.
Behavior of modified schedules
If a schedule changes, the next scheduled run is calculated immediately. This is calculated on the basis on the start date or the current date of the next scheduled run. The time between runs is not taken into account.
The task is run if the activation time has been reached. When the next scheduled run is calculated, this time the interval will be taken into account.
Some calculation tasks for the database are scheduled. There are schedules set up for these maintenance tasks, which you can customize as required. It is recommended to run maintenance task outside main working hours of the connected clients.

One Identity Manager provides the means to send email notifications. For example, notifications can be sent from process handling, about attestation or the status of IT Shop requests.
You use mail templates to design the appearance and content of email notifications. A mail template consists of general main data such as target format, important, or mail notification confidentiality and one or more mail definitions. The mail text is defined in several languages in the mail template. The recipient's language preferences are taken into account when an email notification is generated.
Create and edit mail templates in the Designer or in the Manager. The Designer displays all mail templates of the system. You can edit individual mail templates such as mail templates for requests in IT Shop or mail templates for attestation in the Manager. For more information about editing mail templates in the Manager, refer to the administration guides for the modules.
A Designer is integrated in the Manager and in the Mail Template Editor to simplify writing notifications. In the Mail Template Editor you can create email texts with Microsoft Word style editing and formatting functions and a preview of the email.
Email notifications are generated through default processes during process handling. To use email notifications based on mail templates for other business procedures, for example creating user accounts, you have to create custom mail templates and processes. Use the MailComponent process component to provide the SendRichMail process task for this purpose.
