Running Recurring A/P Entries

Use Recurring A/P Posting to set up your recurring postings to run right away, or to schedule them to run at a later date and time. This function uses the Phantom Scheduler screen, but populates some of the information from the recurring A/P entry template that you have selected to run. For more information, see Scheduling Phantom Processes.

To run or schedule a recurring A/P entry:

  1. From the A/P > Recurring A/P Entry menu select Recurring A/P Posting to display the Recurring A/P Posting screen.

  2. Select Run Scheduler to display the Phantom Scheduler screen.

The system populates the Title, Start Time, and Start Date fields with the name of the event, the current time, and the current date.

  1. To update the time and date, move the cursor to the Start Time and Start Date fields and enter the new information.

  2. In the Expire Date field, do one of the following:

  1. In the Reschedule area, place an asterisk (*) next to the frequency you want your reschedule to run. For example, you can select Monthly to have the recurring posting occur on a monthly basis.

You can select any or all of the days of the week, Monday through Sunday, or you can select one of the times in the right hand column:

  1. In the Repeat Every __ Minutes field, if you want the procedure to run more than once a day, enter the number of minutes between runs. For example, to have the posting occur every two hours, enter 120.

  2. In the Until field, if you want the procedure to not run later than a specified time during the day, enter that time. For example, if you want the postings to stop at 5 o'clock, enter 17, for 17 hundred hours, military time.

  3. Press Esc to save the information and exit the screen.
