Box is pleased to announce a new scheduling feature in Box Shuttle. We heard the customer input that sometimes jobs should be started outside of business hours, and users running migrations would like the jobs to start during the time they attend to other tasks. With the Box Shuttle schedule feature, jobs can be set to start when they should be, even if you are in a meeting or occupied with another task.
Box Shuttle users can now set any migration job to start at a specific date and time. Users can select what type of job run they want - an analysis, a simulation, or a transfer. Schedules can also be set to repeat, if needed.
With the Box Shuttle schedule feature, an admin can now set a job to run many different ways. For example, and admin might want to:
-
Schedule a daily transfer to accommodate their organization’s change frequency and keep Box in sync with their source system
-
Set a weekly simulation run for a month to ensure that no content is being created in the source, before fully shutting it down at the end of a migration
-
Schedule a monthly analysis run to provide updated information to aid in planning an upcoming migration
