zWorkforce Scheduler & Event Automation

Turn recurring and reactive work into safe, non-duplicated dispatch.

Workflow

1. Identify the trigger type (cron expression, fixed interval, or durable event) and the target agent or workflow.
2. Define an explicit dedupe key and filter so repeated or overlapping triggers cannot double-dispatch the same logical occurrence.
3. Verify which scheduler replica currently holds the leader lease before assuming a schedule or event trigger is actively firing.
4. Confirm timezone/interval semantics, catch-up behavior after downtime, and backoff for failed dispatch attempts.
5. Trace a full trigger-to-task lifecycle (fire, lease, dispatch, task creation) before declaring a schedule or event rule production-ready.

Output

Report trigger type, dedupe/filter design, leader lease state, dispatch evidence, and any duplicate-dispatch or missed-occurrence risk.
