Schedules Requests

Starting a Schedule With Dynamic Robot Allocation

The following request enables you to create a schedule named ApiTest, on the GMT Standard Time time zone, which is triggered every 5 months, on Sundays.

The StartStrategy parameter lets you choose how you want to run the job.

Possible values for StartStrategy

Value	Name	Description	Folder Context
-1	All robots	Runs the job once for each robot present in the environment of the process.	classic
0	Custom robots	Runs the job once on each of the specified robots. To specify the robots, include the robot Ids as values in ExecutorRobots. For example, "ExecutorRobots" : [ {"Id" : 44881}, {"Id" : 44882} ]	classic
1	1 robot	Runs the job on a dynamically selected robot of any user who has access to the folder where the process is. You can also set the job to run on the robot you specify in MachineRobots. See the sample request body below for an example.	modern
any other number	Dynamic allocation	Creates the specified number of jobs and dynamically chooses the robots on which to run them from the available robots in the modern folder of the process, or from the robots in the environment for classic folders. For modern folders, you can also specify one or more machine templates, robots, or both machine templates and robots using the list parameter MachineRobots. In this case, the StartStrategy value represents the number of times to execute the job on each specified robot or robot-machine combination. This is not possible for classic folders and, if specified, the ExecutorRobots parameter is ignored.	classic or modern
