CRONJOBs

CRONJOBs in Transfer CFT are scheduled jobs for performing functions such as periodically scanning a directory for files to transfer, maintenance tasks and other operations.

Overview

The CRONJOB definition includes execution scheduling and upload of the job to Transfer CFT. All CRONJOBs that Central Governance manages are attached automatically to the active CFTPARM via a dedicated CRONTAB named CGCRONTAB created at product registration.

Transfer CFT supports CRONJOBs on all supported operating systems.

The user interface for CRONJOBs within the Transfer CFT configuration page enables you to add, edit and remove CRONJOBs.
