Select the Scheduled checkbox to enable the schedule. If you de-select the Scheduled checkbox, the group will not run automatically until the Scheduled option is again enabled. Groups can always be run on demand using the Run Group command, regardless of whether you define a schedule for automatically running the group.
For a group of snapshot subscriptions, select the One Time option, and enter the date and time for replication in the On Date and At Time edit fields, to run the group once at the specified time. Select the Recurring option to run the group on a regular basis, such as nightly, daily, or weekly. Click Change to display the Task Schedule dialog to define or modify the schedule for running the subscription or group.
If a snapshot subscription is a member of a group you can schedule the group to run independently of the individual subscription. Be careful that the schedules do not overlap or the subscription will be busy when it is triggered by the group schedule.
