If the field 'Run As' is blank for a scheduled job, which user credential will be used to run the Scheduled job.

 

All i can find on wiki is that

Run asThe user creating and running the scheduled job. To have the scheduled job assigned to system behavior instead of the person creating the scheduled job, create a system or "dummy" user and add that user to this field.

 

 

Please suggest.

Hi Avinasdh



If you keep the Run As field blank it will run as "system" id but the system user name cannot not be found in service-now user table.



You can also create a dummy user account like "job_scheduler" and have it set to the Run As field.

Hi Ruchi,



Thanks for the update. What I could take from this is that even if there is no user set in the Run As field, it will run for sure.



Or will it be aborted in between?



Regards,


Avinash
