Enabling advanced scheduling

Advanced scheduling enables you to create complex or event-based schedules. By default, advanced scheduling is not enabled in standalone Information Console. To enable advanced scheduling, you must do the following:

Deploy the following shared libraries to the web server’s global shared lib space, for example <tomcat_home_directory>\lib:

com.actuate.common.jar

com.actuate.repository.jar

com.actuate.sso.jar

Set the context for iPortal by adding the following line to context.xml:

You can deploy context as META-INF/context.xml within your web applications, or deploy it as part of a global context deploy descriptor file.

Once you have enabled advanced scheduling, test it as described in the following procedure.
