From: "Shubhendu Tripathi" <shtripat(a)redhat.com&gt; To: devel(a)ovirt.org Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 8:58:34 AM Subject: [ovirt-devel] Certain questions about Quartz based scheduling in oVirt Hi All, We are in a requirement where we need to schedule jobs at certain time interval, hourly, daily, weekly and monthly (i.e. repetitive and cron kind of scheduling). I was trying to understand quartz based scheduling mechanism in oVirt to achieve the scenarios. Have some basic questions regarding the same - 1. Is there is mechanism to persist the scheduling data in oVirt ?

2. How to tackle edit and rescheduling of jobs ?

Kindly guide on how to achieve these. Thanks and Regards, Shubhendu _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

1. - that uses the in memory job store 2. that uses DB to persist the jobs. The second instance would be used to schedule and manage any dynamic jobs, for instance like the ones required for gluster volume snapshot scheduling Using a separate instance also would mean there's no change to existing jobs that are scheduled in Backend bean. > >> 2.

Instances for users jobs should be added independently from RHEV.
