Procedure

Enter the last permitted start date for your background job. If the job is not started before this date, the background processing system characterizes it as cancelled. The job is not processed.

Defining a "start window" with this field is useful if you schedule a job, for example, which is repeated in short intervals. If the system is started after maintenance or shutdown, the job repetitions that did not take place during the shutdown do not have to be processed. Processing of the job repetitions is not necessary because the job will be repeated soon anyway.
