Scheduling Recurring Tasks

In Admin > Scheduler, you can schedule the following recurring tasks:

  • Refresh Source Data: This task refreshes the data in Tamr Cloud for a selected source dataset. For example, you might schedule a recurring task to refresh the data stored in a specific Snowflake table each Monday morning.
  • Run Flow: This task runs the mastering flow for a selected data product, and delivers the updated data to Studio and other Tamr Cloud apps. For example, you might schedule a recurring task to run the mastering flow each Monday afternoon.
    All records are processed when mastering flow runs. For data that has not changed since the previous flow run, the existing Tamr ID is retained.
  • Publish Entity Data: This task publishes data to a configured destination for a selected data product. For example, you might schedule a recurring task to publish data each Monday evening.

When scheduling a task, you select the frequency and your local time at which to run the task. Once you have scheduled a task in your local time, the table will display your scheduled task in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, you might create a scheduled task to update Studio data every 2 weeks at 6:00 am local time, and it will be displayed as 10:00:00 UTC on the table.

You can edit and delete scheduled tasks, as well as pause and resume scheduled tasks.

Only admin users have access to Admin > Scheduler.
