 +====== Task Scheduler - create and configure a trigger ======
  
 +A trigger is a tool in CzechIdM that initiates scheduled tasks. At the moment, there are three types of triggers. We can schedule a task to commence just once, periodically or after another scheduled task has successfully finished. Let's start with newly created scheduled tasks. (Tutorial for [[tutorial:​adm:​how_to_work_with_task_scheduler|scheduled tasks]])
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_01.png |}}
 +
 +So we have three scheduled tasks, none of them has any trigger. Let´s start with the first scheduled task (by description). Click on the **Add** button in **Scheduled starts** and a pop-up window will show up.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_02.png |}}
 +
 +On **the first scheduled task** we will configure a trigger which will start the scheduled task just once. For type, choose **One-time start** and in **Fire time** by clicking on "​calendar"​ select the date and at the bottom of the calendar menu click on "​hours"​ and select the time.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_03.png |}}
 +
 +We have now configured a scheduled task and a date is set when it will be initiated. After that start, the trigger will disappear and we can select a new trigger.
 +Now click the **Add** trigger button next to **the second scheduled task**.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_04.png |}}
 +
 +Now select the trigger type **Cron**. In **Cron expression** field you can add an expression which could start the scheduled task periodically. We set **0 0 7 * * ?**, meaning the scheduled task will be started every day at 7 AM.
 +( Cron expression tutorial: http://​www.quartz-scheduler.org/​documentation/​quartz-2.3.0/​tutorials/​crontrigger.html )
 +
 +Other common combinations:​
 +  * **0 0 * * * ?** - start the task every hour
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_05.png |}}
 +
 +In the picture above, we can see another trigger and the next scheduled start is tomorrow on 31st January at 7 AM. This trigger will not disappear after that date, but will be updated to another start.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_06.png |}}
 +
 +Now we add the trigger to the last scheduled task and in **Type** select **Other task**. In **Other task** field select another scheduled task, but as you can see on the picture above, scheduled tasks are represented by their description,​ because there can be more scheduled tasks with same task type. In this tutorial we selected **the second scheduled task**.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_07.png |}}
 +
 +In the picture above, you can see **the third scheduled task** has a trigger with another task. After this task (in our case **the second task**) has successfully finished, **the third scheduled task** will start.
 +
 +{{ :​tutorial:​adm:​scheduled_tasks_trigger_08.png |}}
 +
 +If we click on the scheduled task in trigger, a pop-up will show the details of that scheduled task.
