The Scheduled Actions tool controls actions that are scheduled to execute at specific times in the future. When you add a new scheduled action from the tool, you can select a Java class from the Action drop-down.

All scheduled actions that you create through the API automatically save to the Scheduled Actions tool.

In the API, the following interfaces represent scheduled actions:

•ScheduledActionService—Includes methods that you use to create, delete, activate, and retrieve scheduled actions.

•ScheduledActionStatus—Includes methods that you use to return information about each scheduled action.

•Parameter—Includes methods that you use to return information about parameter fields for the scheduled action.

•Schedule—Includes methods that you use to return information about the start date, end date, and how often the scheduled action occurs.
