Cyclic Job example

The following example describes how to schedule a cyclic Job. Let's assume a Job that updates flight times for an airline should cycle through every 3 minutes from the end of the previous run. If for some reason it fails, it should trigger an alternative flight update program, shout a message to the administrator, and stop running. Select the Job/Folder you want to schedule in the Workspace.
