What is the difference between schedule and schedule job?

[Smriti Rastogi]

There are two tables in ServiceNow - sys_trigger_list & sysauto_list.

What is the difference between both?

Hi,

sys_trigger - List down all the upcoming scheduled jobs which will be executed. This will display when scheduled job gonna execute and the context of scheduled job that's all you cannot edit scheduled job definition here , you have to go to sysauto_list table to do that.

sysauto_list - List down definition of Scheduled jobs which you can configure newly or edit existing scheduled jobs, so if you create new scheduled job then it will be displayed under sys_trigger based on run condition.

Mark my answer as correct or hit like.

Hi Smriti,

sysauto is a list of schedule job definitions. Such as to clean sysevent records daily.

sys_trigger is a list of jobs that are scheduled to be executed in a queue.

That is, there would be more records in sys_trigger than in sysauto table.

In object oriented terms, sysauto is a class while sys_trigger is an instance.
