FoldersSynchronizer - Scheduling

Scheduling:

• Picture 1 - The Timer Scheduling Window lists all the today's active timers. In this sample we have chosen, as active session, the virtual session "All", so FS is going to fire all the timers of all the sessions defined in the Session pop-up menu (see Session column).

For better checking what FS is going to do with timers, you can take a look at the "Timer Scheduling" window calling the menu item "Window:Timer Scheduling". This window lists all the today's active timers defined for the current session.
You cannot edit the timers from this window. In order to edit the timers you have to go to the Option:Timer panel.
If you selected "All" as current session (in the pop-up menu Sessions), you will see here all the active timers defined for all the sessions.

Each row of the scheduling list contains the following fields:

#: the progressive timer number.
Next Timer: the violet arrow indicates the next timer FS is going to execute.
Start: the date/time that timer will be executed.
Session: the session that will be executed on the date/time.
State: Wait, Run, or Done.
Errors: the amount of the errors (only for timers already done).

• You can delete only a timer "Done". Simply select the row you want to delete and press the key "Delete". You can extend the selection using the shift and/or the command keys.

• You can double click on a timer done row in order to open the Log file (if any) related to the session done. This is useful if you want to quickly inspect the Log file of a sync/backup executed by a timer. You have to activate the check-box "Save Log File" in the Preferences panel in order to make FS write log files at the end of each session.

• Every time you press "Apply" in the Timer list panel (menu Option:Timers), FS will delete the timers "Done" from the "Scheduling Timer" window and it will build the timer scheduling list starting from the first executable today's timer.

• Every time the system date changes, FS in less than 10 seconds, updates the list of the today's active timers. If you want to see the list of the active timers FS will execute on a given day in the future, you can temporary set the system date to that given date, wait 10 seconds and check the new FS timer list. Then remember to set back the system date to its original date.

• Every time you launch the application, FS will build the timer scheduling list starting from the first executable today's timer.

• Every time you change session from the popUp menu in the console, FS will update the "Wait" timers but will not delete the timers "Done".

• When a timer is running, the timer row text color changes to red and the "State" field reports "Run".
