This feature provides runtime control over Scheduler components defined in your Mule application flows. **Scheduler Identification** Runtime Manager identifies each Scheduler component using the naming convention `polling://{flow_name}`, where `{flow_name}` represents the name of the flow containing the Scheduler element. > [!IMPORTANT] Timezone configuration for cron schedulers is available only for hybrid standalone > deployments. CloudHub and Government Cloud deployments don’t support custom timezone settings. ## Use Cases Schedule management is useful in these contexts: - You want to change the schedulers in your application at runtime without redeploying. - You want to disable a scheduled job while one of the applications you’re connecting to is undergoing maintenance. - You want runtime visibility into the schedulers in your application. ## Considerations and Limitations When using the **Schedulers** tab, consider this: - If a scheduled job isn’t triggered because the application isn’t running, Runtime Manager triggers the job as soon as the application restarts. - The scheduler reads the job configuration every time it runs. To apply your changes immediately, run your jobs manually after updating the schedule. ## Scheduler Management Operations Manage scheduler configurations and runtime behavior through Runtime Manager’s Schedulers interface for applications deployed to hybrid standalone instances. ### Prerequisites Before managing schedulers, make sure that your application deployment meets these requirements: - Your application contains one or more Scheduler components defined in Mule flows - Your application is successfully deployed to hybrid standalone instances (servers, server groups, or clusters) - Your user account has appropriate application management permissions in Runtime Manager ![Scheduler component in the Anypoint Studio canvas](/mulesoft/current/en-us/hybrid-standalone/_images/hybrid-scheduler-studio.png) Figure 1. The arrow shows the **Scheduler** component in the Anypoint Studio canvas. ### Access Scheduler Management Go to the scheduler management interface for your deployed application: 1. In Runtime Manager, click **Applications** in the navigation pane. 2. Select your deployed application from the applications list. 3. Click the **Schedulers** tab to access scheduler management controls. ![Schedulers option and checkbox on the Schedulers page](/mulesoft/current/en-us/hybrid-standalone/_images/hybrid-scheduler-rtm.png) Figure 2. The screenshot shows (**1**) the **Schedulers** option and (**2**) the checkbox on the **Schedulers** page. **Scheduler Display Information** - **Name**: Shows the flow name containing each Scheduler element - **Status**: Displays current state (enabled/disabled) for each scheduler - **Schedule**: Lists schedulers in the order they appear in your application ![Checkbox, Disable button, and schedule in the details pane](/mulesoft/current/en-us/hybrid-standalone/_images/hybrid-scheduler-rtm-detail.png) Figure 3. The screenshot shows (**1**) the checkbox, (**2**) the **Disable** button, and (**3**) the schedule in the details pane. ### Scheduler Configuration Operations **Enable/Disable Schedulers** Control scheduler execution state through bulk or individual operations: 1. **Bulk Operations**: Select multiple scheduler checkboxes and click **Enable** or **Disable** 2. **Individual Control**: Select a single scheduler checkbox to modify its state 3. **Status Verification**: Confirm scheduler state changes in the status indicators **Cron Scheduler Configuration** Modify cron-based scheduler settings for complex scheduling patterns: 1. Select a single cron scheduler checkbox 2. Update schedule configuration in the details pane: - **Cron Expression**: Define minute, hour, day, month, and day-of-week patterns - **Timezone**: Configure timezone for execution (hybrid standalone only) - **Start Time**: Set the execution start time. ![Schedule configuration in the details pane](/mulesoft/current/en-us/hybrid-standalone/_images/hybrid-scheduler-cron.png) Figure 4. The arrow shows the cron schedule configuration in the details pane. **Fixed-Frequency Scheduler Configuration** Adjust fixed-frequency scheduler settings for regular interval execution: 1. Select a single fixed-frequency scheduler checkbox 2. Update schedule configuration in the details pane: - **Frequency**: Set the execution interval (seconds, minutes, hours) - **Frequency Units**: Select the time unit for the frequency value. - **Start Delay**: Configure initial delay before first execution ![Schedule configuration in the details pane](/mulesoft/current/en-us/hybrid-standalone/_images/hybrid-scheduler-fixed-frequency.png) Figure 5. The arrow shows the fixed-frequency schedule configuration in the details pane. **Apply Configuration Changes** Finalize scheduler configuration modifications: 1. Review all configuration changes in the details pane. 2. Click **Update** to save all modified settings. 3. Verify changes take effect on the next scheduler execution cycle. > [!IMPORTANT] Configuration changes apply immediately for management operations (enable/disable) > but take effect on the next execution cycle for scheduling modifications (frequency, cron > patterns). > [!NOTE] By default, schedules run at the frequency defined in the application. When you change the > frequency of a schedule from Runtime Manager, the schedule runs at the frequency configured in > Runtime Manager even if you update and redeploy the same schedule in the application JAR file. ## See Also - [Managing Mule Apps Deployed to Hybrid Standalone Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hybrid-standalone/managing-apps-hybrid-standalone) - [Deploying Mule Apps to Hybrid Standalone Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hybrid-standalone/deploying-apps-hybrid-standalone) - [Monitoring Mule Apps Deployed to Hybrid Standalone Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hybrid-standalone/monitoring-apps-hybrid-standalone) - [Creating Alerts for Mule Apps Deployed to Hybrid Standalone](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hybrid-standalone/creating-alerts-hybrid-apps) - [Managing Hybrid Standalone Instances](https://docs.mulesoft.com/hybrid-standalone/managing-hybrid-standalone)
