Scheduling¶
A schedule is how often a saved Job should run by itself.
Run Now does not require a schedule. Enable the schedule only when you want GeoJibe to start runs for you.
Convert Jobs¶
| Repeat | What you set |
|---|---|
| Hourly | Minute past the hour (and optional every N hours) |
| Daily | Hour and minute |
| Weekly | Weekday, hour, and minute |
On the Canvas Save as Job dialog, the choices are Manual / No schedule, Hourly, Daily, and Weekly. Manual means the Job is saved with scheduling off.
There is no cron field.
Sync Jobs¶
Sync Jobs use Every N minutes (1 to 1440). Default is 5.
Each scheduled run performs one synchronization cycle, then stops. That is true for both QFieldCloud and Mergin Maps.
Timezone¶
Every schedule needs an IANA timezone, for example UTC or Europe/Berlin. Invalid zones are rejected.
Enable schedule¶
The checkbox is labeled Enable schedule.
Disabled Jobs keep their name, Source, and Destination. You can still Run Now. The scheduler ignores them until you Enable.
Overlap and restart¶
If a Job is already running, a new start is refused (This Job is already running.). A scheduled overlap is recorded as cancelled.
If GeoJibe restarts while a run is in progress, that run is marked failed. Missed scheduled slots are not replayed after a restart.
