3. Scheduling Recurring Jobs

So far, all of the jobs we have submitted have been for a single execution performed ASAP (As Soon As Possible). But, what about jobs we want to run at the same time each day, week, or month? These are recurring jobs and the xTuple Connect Batch Manager can accommodate them.

There are some jobs you only need to send once, such as emailing a Purchase Order to a Vendor. But there are other jobs, like keeping your Actual Costs updated, that you want to run on a regular, recurring basis. The xTuple Connect Batch Manager supports both approaches. In this next scenario, we will show how to make a xTuple Connect Batch Manager job recurring.
