Understanding the chron job and consequences of not running

[lfrazier]

Shaun,

I need to understand the consequences of the chron job not running on a minute-by-minute basis.

What all does it do beside keep things calculated, checking for holidays, compute accruals, etc. Anything behind the scenes that we need to be aware of?

I have worked with many T&A apps in my career. I understand scheduled tasks and maintenance that must occur for a database application. I just do not know from the TimeTrex perspective.

Thanks,

Lloyd

The TimeTrex maintenance jobs do all sorts of things, from creating new pay periods, calculating exceptions, add new holidays, schedule employee shifts, send out email notifications, daily/weekly maintenance, etc... They don't actually do anything every minute, but they need to be run that often so jobs that need to be run at specific times can be.
