Some scheduled tasks in XperienCentral can be configured to run on a scheduled basis. These configuration settings follow the Unix Cron format.
Two different formats are used; one for the Scheduling Services and one for the Search Engine. Determine which format you need and follow the examples in the appropriate section below. For more information, see the Quartz Scheduler documentation. XperienCentral uses Quartz version 1.8.6, therefore the Quartz documentation may describe features that are not available in XperienCentral.
