Sierra Scheduler Job Scheduler
The Job Scheduler manages the execution of jobs, which are created by the Task Builder. The Job Scheduler can contain any number of jobs but a maximum of 100 jobs can be active.
The system checks the list of active jobs every five minutes and starts active jobs at the scheduled date and time. A maximum of five jobs can execute simultaneously. If a job is scheduled to run but five jobs are already running, the system cancels the job.
If your timezone observes Daylight Saving Time, do not schedule jobs to run at 2:00 AM on those dates when Daylight Saving Time changes. On these dates, 2:00 AM occurs twice, or not at all, depending on the time of year. Either situation can cause unexpected results.
