Overriding the default connection information in the schedule.xml file

You can configure a job to be performed using different connection information than the default connection information configured in the <configuration> element in the schedule.xml file.

About this task

To override the default connection information for a job:

Procedure

Open the %SchedulerDir%/conf/schedule.xml file.

Locate the job that you want to edit.

For example:

<!-- The following job takes charge of scheduling user reports as independent items --> 
<job useClass="com.ixiasoft.cms.postman.ReportsScheduler" enable="true">
	<!-- you can add the tag  <textml>, <dita.out>, or <smtp/> to override the default value -->
	<schedule>
		<when>57 */6 * * *</when>
	</schedule>
</job>

Under the comment "", add the following elements:

<textml id="textml1" url="localhost" version="4" port="2500" docbase="docbase" secure="false">
	<user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password"/>
</textml>
<dita.out url="localhost" port="1500" secure="false"/>
<smtp url="smtp.ixiasoft.local" port="25" email="scheduler-noreply@ixiasoft.com" />

Configure how to connect to the TEXTML Server and Content Store for the job. Replace the default values of the attributes as follows:

Attribute	Description
`id`	Currently not used. Leave this attribute as is.
`url`	Type the IP address or name of the server hosting TEXTML Server.
`version`	Defines the TEXTML Server version. Leave this attribute as is.
`port`	Type the TEXTML Server port (default is 2500). If you are using SSL security, specify the secure SSL port.
`docbase`	Type the name of the Content Store.
`secure`	If you are using SSL, set this parameter to `"true"`. Note: To enable SSL, you may also need to install a CA certificate on the Scheduler. See Installing and Configuring IXIA TEXTML Server for IXIA CCMS for more information.
`domain`, `username`, `password`	Type the domain, username, and password used by the Scheduler to log in to the IXIA CCMS. Note: You can also encrypt the password using the encrypt utility in the %SchedulerDir%/conf directory.

For example:

<textml url="writix" version="4" port="2500" docbase="MainDocbase" secure="false">
	<user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password"/>
</textml>

Edit the <dita.out> element as follows:


Field	Value to enter
`url`	Type the IP address or name of the Output Generator.
`port`	Type the Output Generator port (default is 1500).
`secure`	Currently not used. Leave the value to `"false"`,

Edit the <smtp> element as follows:


Field	Value to enter
`url`	Type the address of the SMTP server for sending the emails.
`port`	Type the port of the SMTP server.
`email`	Type the address that will be used as the From address when the email is sent. Optional.

Edit the <when> element to configure when the job will run.
Use a crontab-like pattern, as shown below:
```
<when>minute hour day month weekday</when>
```
Where:
- minute specifies the minutes (0-59) of the hour that the job will run; a value of * indicates that the job will run every minute
- hour specifies the hours (0-23, 0=midnight) of the day that the job will run; a value of * indicates that the job will run every hour
- day specifies the days (1-31) of the month that the job will run; a value of * indicates that the job will run every day
- month specifies the months (1-12) of the year that the job will run; a value of * indicates that the job will run every month
- weekday specifies the days (0-6, 0 = Sunday) of the week that the job will run; a value of * indicates that the job will run every day
For example, to indicate that a job should run at midnight every day, enter the following:
```
<when>0 0 * * *</when>
```
To indicate that a job should run at 6:15 every day, enter the following:
```
<when>15 6 * * *</when>
```
There are other options that you can use. For example, to indicate that a job should run every 15 minutes, enter the following:
```
<when>*/15 * * * *</when>
```

	<!-- you can add the tag  <textml>, <dita.out>, or <smtp/> to override the default value -->
<textml url="writix" version="4" port="2500" docbase="MainDocbase" secure="false">
	<user domain="ixiasoft" username="testuser" password="password"/>
