Scheduling a Magic ETL DataFlow

Intro

Customize a schedule for your DataFlow runtime. With DataFlow schedules, you can continue kicking off your DataFlow when an input has updated or set a specific time at an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. You can specify what time zone the DataSet trigger times are in as well as running on specific days of the week or month.

FAQs

If you have multiple inputs set to trigger a DataFlow, does it run when any of the input DataSets are updated or when all of them are updated?

Currently, if you have multiple DataSets set to trigger a DataFlow, it will run when any of those input DataSets update. If all of the inputs need to be updated before the DataFlow runs, we recommend staggering the input DataSet update times. Then, only set the input with the latest update time to trigger the DataFlow. This will ensure all the inputs have been updated before the DataFlow runs.
