Sugar Developer Guide

Version 5.1


Chapter 2 Application Framework : Scheduler

Scheduler
SugarCRM contains a Scheduler service that asynchronously executes predefined functions on a periodic basis. The Scheduler integrates with external UNIX systems and Windows systems to run jobs that are scheduled through those systems. The usual configuration is to have a UNIX cron job or a Windows scheduled job execute the SugarCRM Scheduler service every couple minutes. The Scheduler service checks the list of Schedulers defined in the Scheduler Admin screen and executes any that are currently due.
A series of Schedulers are defined by default with every SugarCRM installation such as “Process Workflow Tasks” and “Run Report Generation Scheduled Tasks”.
