Overview
There are two ways to schedule processes in Regent. The first is for the institution to request that Regent schedule the process on the “back end,” and the other is “UI” scheduling when institutions want to schedule their own processes within the Regent User Interface.
"Back-end" Scheduling
The table below is provided, primarily, as guidance for the back-end scheduling options available with Regent. The "Scheduling Details/Requirements" column provides information regarding the options available when the process is scheduled by Regent, and the "Client Instructions" column provides details on the information we need from each client in order to set up the back-end schedules for each process.
"UI" Scheduling using Regent Award
However, if the process contains the value "Yes" in the column "Can schedule via UI?," and the client plans to take advantage of this feature, then the information in the "Scheduling Details/Requirements" and "Client Instructions" column is not needed. Some important notes:
- Clients must submit a CZ ticket in order to have the UI scheduling functionality turned on in their PROD or QA environments.
A flag exists in the back end configuration to enable/disable UI based schedules. This allows for the cases where the schedule are NOT enabled in QA. Therefore, a PROD restore to a QA environment will not initiate the scheduled processes in QA inadvertently.
- Any processes that were previously scheduled via the "Back-end" schedule capability must be disabled prior to setting up the same scheduled process via the UI.
- Prior to setting up the schedule for a process via the UI, the school must FIRST create a "Saved Parameter Set" for the IO process.
- Processes that are scheduled via the UI cannot be "chained." In other words, one process cannot be set to begin based on when another process ends. For example, the back-end scheduling option offers the ability to run BP immediately followed by EST. The UI processing does not offer the ability to create process dependencies.
