To set a scheduled submission, the Status field on the deployment record must be set to Scheduled. Additionally, you must configure one or more upcoming times on the record’s Schedule subtab. Deployment times can be scheduled with a frequency of every 15 minutes. For example, you could configure a script to run at 2:00 pm, 2:15 pm, 2:30 pm, and so on.
The times you set on the Schedule subtab are the times the script deployment is submitted for processing. However, the times you set on the Schedule subtab are not necessarily the times the script will execute. Script deployment does not mean the script will execute precisely at 2:00 pm, 2:15 pm, 2:30 pm, and so on. There may be a short system delay before the script is executed, even if no scripts are before it. If there are scripts already waiting to be executed, the script may wait to be executed until other scripts have completed.
Note that, regardless of the Status, the system submits the deployment for processing only if the Deployed box is checked. To stop execution of a map reduce script, you must uncheck the Deployed box.
The times displayed on the Schedule subtab use the session time zone, meaning that the times are displayed using the time zone of the user who is currently logged in. This time zone can be different from the time zone that is set for the company or the time zone of the map/reduce script owner.
