Introduction to Scheduled Jobs


In the Scheduled Jobs tab, you can schedule an Integration Scenario to run at specific times, repeatedly, or once only, which can update data automatically in Salesforce from SAP, or other backend systems. This tab also allows you to view the list of existing Scheduled Jobs and check their details.

A Job is an event that runs on a user-defined schedule and a Task is a fixed Scenario Execution configuration. A Task defines the scenario, operation, and Query Predicate or Data Set to run. When a Scheduled Job runs, Overcast executes all Integration Scenarios in the assigned Tasks.
