New Schedule dialog box field descriptions

Last Updated : Feb 06, 2023 |

Use this dialog box to create a recurring or run-once schedule for the selected contact data source.

Note:

A data source schedule does not run if the schedule falls in the shift window with the Daylight Savings time (DST) clock change.

If there are any country-specific changes to the existing time zones, such as the addition of new time zones or changes to the Daylight Savings Time (DST) rules, you must delete and re-create a schedule.

For example, Russia has announced some changes to the standard time zones from 26 October 2014. If any of your data import falls in the changed time zones, you must delete and re-create the schedules so that the import jobs continue to run properly.

The time zone field in the schedule is used to specify the schedule start time for the specified time zone. POM converts the schedule start time to the current POM system-time and runs the schedule as per the time on the POM server. The POM system scheduler honors the DST of the current POM server and not the time zone mentioned when creating the schedule.
