What is Scheduler?

Pika can use full exports sent from Sierra nightly to update changes, additions, and deletions to holdings in the ILS. The Scheduler tool can create this export automatically and deliver it to an FTP server. Pika will use the full export file from the FTP server to update holdings as they appear in the catalog. 

...

This is an example of the Scheduler task form as filled out for Marmot. Your information will be different, but you can use this as a guide.

Creating a Job

You also need to create a Job, which will tell Scheduler when to run the task you created. 

...

Your Job should have a distinguishable name such as ‘Pika Daily Export.’ Assign the Pika Full Export Task you created previously in the ‘Task name’ field. Supply your username from Sierra. The Recurrence start time should happen during off hours for the library, usually in the middle of the night - please note that the FTP server uses time local to Marmot offices (Mountain). If your library is in an area that observes Daylight Savings, do NOT set the start time to 2:00 AM, as this will cause issues. The ‘Recurrence pattern’ should be toggled to ‘Daily.’ The ‘End date’ option should be toggled to ‘No end date.’ Once the form is filled, click ‘Ok.’
