Data Integration tasks such as Synchronization task, Mapping task, Replication task etc. have inbuilt dedicated tab within them to schedule the task. Linear Taskflows also have an option to select a schedule while assigning tasks within them.
Taskflow or an advanced taskflow do not have an option within the design canvas to assign a schedule. They can be scheduled directly from the Explore tab.
A taskflow can be scheduled by
- Assigning a schedule pre-defined in Administrator.
- Creating a new schedule at runtime while scheduling the taskflow.
