Synopsis

  • Perform actions on a ScheduledJob resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For action=change_compartment, moves a resource into a different compartment. When provided, If-Match is checked against ETag values of the resource.

  • For action=run_scheduled_job_now, this will trigger an already created Scheduled Job to being executing immediately instead of waiting for its next regularly scheduled time.

  • For action=skip_next_scheduled_job_execution, this will force an already created Scheduled Job to skip its next regularly scheduled execution

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
