Suspend, Resume or Kill a Schedule on Microsoft Azure

PUT /api/v1.2/scheduler/(int: id)

Use this API to suspend, resume, or kill a schedule.

Note

After you stop a schedule, you cannot resume it. However, you can suspend a schedule and resume it later.

Required Role

The following users can make this API call:

• Users who belong to the system-admin group.

• Users who belong to a group associated with a role that allows suspending, resuming, or killing a schedule. See Managing Groups and Managing Roles for more information.

This API is used to suspend, resume, or kill an existing schedule created to run commands automatically at certain frequency in a specified interval.

Resource URI	scheduler/id
Request Type	PUT
Supporting Versions	v1.2
Return Value	JSON object with the status of the operation.

Parameters

Note

Parameters marked in bold below are mandatory. Others are optional and have default values.

Parameter	Description
status	It indicates the status and its valid values are suspend, resume or kill.
no_catch_up	Note You can use this parameter while resuming a suspended schedule. Set this parameter to true if you want to skip schedule actions that were supposed to have run in the past and run only the api/v1.2 schedule actions. By default, this parameter is set to false. When a new schedule is created, the scheduler runs schedule actions from start time to the current time. For example, if a daily schedule is created from Jun 1, 2015 on Dec 1, 2015, schedules are run for Jun 1, 2015, Jun 2, 2015, and so on. If you do not want the scheduler to run the missed schedule actions for months earlier to Dec, set no_catch_up to true. The main use of skipping a schedule action is if when you suspend a schedule and resume it later, in which case, there will be more than one schedule action and you might want to skip the earlier schedule actions.
