First-Time Setup

If you have installed a new adTempus instance, there are a few initial settings that you will probably need to configure. You will need to be logged in to the computer under an account that was provisioned as an Administrator during installation.

To begin, run the adTempus Console from the adTempus group on the Windows Start menu. The Console should automatically connect to the local adTempus server.

Security Settings

During installation, one or more Windows users were added as adTempus users and provisioned as adTempus Administrators.

To allow other users to use adTempus, you must create adTempus logins for them and grant them the necessary permissions. See the Security Configuration Guidelines topic for more information.

Notification

If you plan to use e-mail or SMS notification (e.g., for sending messages about failed jobs), you must configure the notification options.

Holidays

Jobs can be configured to behave differently on holidays. If you plan to use this feature you should review the default holidays and modify the list as appropriate for your organization.

Shared Schedules

Shared Schedules allow you to use a single schedule to determine the days on which many jobs will run (each job still has its own settings for the time(s) at which it will run).

You may want to set up some initial shared schedules that are available to all users, and establish policies for their use. For example, you may want to define a "Weekdays" schedule for jobs that run Monday through Friday.
