Schedule properties (General page)
Use the Reporting Services page in SQL Server Management Studio to view or modify a shared schedule. Shared schedules can be used in place of report-specific or subscription-specific schedules. Changes to the schedule are applied after you save the schedule. Editing a schedule has no effect on jobs that are currently in progress. If you edit a schedule while it's being used, all currently processing reports and subscriptions triggered from that schedule are allowed to finish.
Not all frequency combinations can be supported in a single schedule. For example, if you want to run a report at 12:00 P.M. and 4:00 P.M. every Friday, you must create two daily schedules. These schedules should specify a Friday run date, with one having a start time of 12:00 P.M. and the other with a start time of 4:00 P.M.
Schedule processing is based on the local time of the report server that hosts and processes the schedule.
To open this page:
- Start SQL Server Management Studio.
- Connect to a report server.
- Expand the Shared Schedules folder.
- Right-click a shared schedule, and select Properties.
