Scheduling the Star Database Update

Previous TopicNext TopicContents

To keep the Star database current, you must run the staretl periodically. Typically, this is done nightly during off hours.

Schedulers exist for both Windows and non-Windows operating systems. For Windows operating systems, use the Windows Task Scheduler. For non-Windows operating systems, use a cron job with the Crontab command. Please refer to your operating system documentation for specifics on how to configure the process to run as a recurring job.

Caution: When configuring the scheduler, Oracle recommends that you select the option to "not start the next job until the previous job has completed."
