Scheduled Tasks

Pyplan has a task manager to schedule activities automatically. This tool is available in the left sidebar, under the Tools menu, in the Scheduled tasks option.

Open Task Manager

Tasks​

The Tasks section lets you create, manage, and execute automated processes.

Create Task​

To create a scheduled task, select the Add scheduled task option at the top.

General Options​

In the General options section, choose a name for the task and indicate whether it will be enabled or not.

App Path​

In the App path section, select the application and the corresponding node to be executed with the scheduled task.

Scheduler​

In the Scheduler option you can select the periodicity of execution. There are 3 options:

  1. Interval: Run the task every certain time interval (e.g., every day or every hour).
  2. Custom: Freely schedule execution — select the time or days of the week.
  3. Clocked: Run the task on a specific day and time.

Params​

Scheduled Task Params

The Params section lets you configure:

  1. Task User: Choose the user responsible for executing the scheduled task. This user will be granted the necessary permissions to initiate the task.
  2. Notification Users: Specify users who will receive notifications upon completion of the task.
  3. Customized Parameters for Node Execution: If the scheduled task involves the execution of a node (function) that relies on specific parameters, you can define these parameters:
    • Select: Select parameters from a predefined list.
    • Input: Enter the value of the parameter.
    • Checkbox: Parameters that can take True or False values.
  4. Resources: Choose the resources for the instance that will run the task (combination of CPUs and RAM).

App Pool​

An app pool is a tool that allows you to run a node of an application and make it available for other users to access it and continue working once the corresponding node has finished running.

Add App Pool

Create App Pool​

Select the Add app tool option at the top.

General Options​

In the General options section, choose a name for the app pool and indicate whether it will be enabled.

The Action on done option:

  1. Keep for everyone: Specify the number of apps available after node execution.
  2. Keep for user: Designate the user with access to the app after node execution.

The Enable instance expire option lets you set a time when the app would be shut down.

App Path​

Select the application and the corresponding node to be executed.

Params​

Configuration is the same as for scheduled tasks: Task User, Notification Users, and Customized Parameters for Node Execution.

Edit and View Logs​

To edit any task or app pool, select it and click the Edit task option, where you can modify all options that were selected at the time of creation.

Task Logs

You can also monitor the logs of the task/app pool from the Show task logs option, where you can see the last times it was executed and review the logs of the corresponding executions.
