Scheduling Packages

You must create or select a schedule for each package. When you create a schedule, you can determine: When the package executes How often the package executes The length of time that the schedule recurs Whether the package executes at a specific time or within a range of times Note: Only one package can run at a time on one server, so any other package will need to be rescheduled to run after that package has run. You can either manually run it after that package has run or let it run at the next scheduled time.
