Hi all, can anyone just clarify about 'on demand' scheduled jobs. All other options in the 'Run' field are clear except for this one option. I just wanted to know how this on demand scheduled jobs work and how they are triggered. Can they be triggered from some other places like business rules or script include?

Hope this use case would clarify your doubt,

Suppose your client want you to update the phone no and address of all users and he provided a spreadsheet where all details are in.

Now you will import the spreadhseet and then,create a scheduled job 'on demand' (as it is once in a while) and ran it and it would update the user records.

Now,after 6 months client came up with new spreadsheet and ask you to make the changes.So,you can use same import set and same on demand schedule djob to update user records.

Regards,

Munender

You are looking at a Schedule Item on the sys_trigger table. If you look at a Scheduled Job on the sysauto_script table, you will see the button.
