Scheduling Data Ingestions for Current Data

Do the following to set a schedule for automatic data ingestion. This type of ingestion

  • Ingests the current data for all of the published entities, and
  • If configured, repeats the ingestion process to refresh the data on a regular schedule.
  1. Select the Schedules link to display the Schedules page, and select the Add New button in the upper right-hand area to display the Add Schedule form.

    Example of the dialog box used to edit the ingestion schedule.
  2. Select a Timezone.
  3. Specify the frequency using the Repeats field. Options are Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly.
  4. The next fields depend on what you selected for Repeats. For example:
    • If you select Weekly, specify the day(s) of the week to run the ingestion.
    • If you select Monthly, specify the interval (every two months, for example) and the day of the month for the ingestion.
    • If you select Yearly, specify the month and day for the ingestion.
  5. Specify the time that you want the ingestion to start.
    If possible, select a time when the system is not otherwise being used, because you cannot edit entity configurations while an ingestion is taking place.
  6. Select Save.
  7. Once the schedule is added, use the Edit link on the Schedules page to add tags, or to disable or re-enable the schedule.
