Managing jobs and scheduled tasks

The Runtime Manager manages jobs and gives you an overview of your currently scheduled job tasks. Using Runtime Manager, you can create, edit, delete, execute, and terminate tasks.

Because Runtime Manager is based on Windows task scheduling manager, you will find any scheduled task currently defined on the system.

To open Runtime Manager, select Tools | Runtime Manager.
