## Data Object Description

The HourlyTaskScheduler data object sets the time for hourly task execution. By default, the scheduled task will run once every hour, at the specified minute.

If you set the interval to a value greater than 1, the task will execute at the specified hourly interval. (For example, an interval of 2 will cause the task to execute at the specified minute every 2 hours.)

Properties

Name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
minute | xsd:int | The minute at which the RecurrentTaskScheduler runs the task. Specify the minute value as a UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) value in the range 0 to 59. For vCenter 2.x and prior releases, use the server's local time. For example, use Australia Northern Territory (UTC +9:30) or Indian (UTC +5:30) time values, rather than a UTC value.
