Reschedule Task Trigger specifies the interval between times that a task is triggered. Currently, only system tasks can be rescheduled.

When you schedule a task, you need to be aware of the location of the server in relation to your location. Scheduled times are local to the server hosting Enterprise. For example, if the server is located in the US Mountain time zone and you are located in the US Eastern time zone, a task scheduled for 11:00 pm on the 6th will run at 1:00 am on the 7th your local time.

Frequency

Specifies the period of time between the trigger that launches the indexing task. The Edit Task fields change according to the Frequency option you select.

You can choose these options:

Option	Field description
None	Specifies that the search tasks are not scheduled to run. You can run the tasks only by triggering the execution in Scheduled Tasks. (For more information, see Triggering a task manually.) Note: No fields appear for the None option.
Once	Specifies that the task will run on a specific date and time. If you need the task to run before or after that date, you must trigger the task manually. Note: If you enter a date in an invalid format, a parsing error occurs. Clear the invalid entry and re-enter the date in the correct format (mm/dd/yyyy) or choose a date from the calendar.
Interval	Specifies that you want to trigger the task every time the specified number of minutes elapses. The interval continues from the time that the task was last triggered.
Hourly	Specifies that you want to trigger the task once every hour at a specified number of minutes past the hour.
Daily	Specifies that you want to trigger the task once every day at the specified hour and minute.
Weekly	Specifies that you want to trigger the task once each week on the specified day, hour, and minute.
Monthly by date	Specifies that you want to trigger the task once each month on the specified date, hour, and minute. Note: Because the number of days is not uniform for all months, the maximum date is "28."
Monthly by week	Specifies the week number of the month and day of the week for when to trigger the task. For example, "the 4th Tuesday of the month," would be the 4th week of the month and Tuesday.

Note: With the exception of None and Once, the interval will continue until you change the Full Search Schedule settings or suspend the schedule. (For more information, see Suspending and resuming a task’s schedule).

Date

Specifies the single day (local to the server) when you want the task to run. You can enter the date in the field (mm/dd/yyyy format) or choose the calendar ( inserts the date you select into the Date field).

Note: This field is used only with the Once option.

Note: If you enter a date in an invalid format, a parsing error occurs. Clear the invalid entry and re-enter the date in the correct format (mm/dd/yyyy) or choose a date from the calendar.

Hour

Specifies the hour (local to the server) when you want to trigger the task. Enter the hour as an integer from 0 to 23, where 0 is midnight and 23 is 11:00 pm.

Minutes

Specifies the number of minutes past the hour when you want to trigger the task. In the Interval option, enter the number of minutes you want in the interval, up to 1440 (the number of minutes in a day). For all other options, enter the minutes as an integer from 0 to 59.

Day

In the Weekly option, Day specifies the day of the week, Sunday through Saturday.

In the Monthly option, Day specifies the day of the month, 1 through 28 (to allow for February).
