				version 1.0.0 
											 
									
									
									
									Overview 
									 
									
									
									SimpleSchedulePlugin is a free
									OWAAMS plugin. 
									 
									SimpleSchedulePlugin provides an opportunity 
									to run 
									OWAAMSJobs: 
									
									
									• 
									
									instantly 
									
									
									• 
									
									once at specified time 
									
									
									• 
									
									periodically 
									without any additional decision logic. 
									 
									
									
									
									Requirements 
									
									
									 
									
									SimpleSchedulePlugin requires
									OWAAMSCore library. 
									
									
									 
									
									
									
									Settings 
									
									
									 
									SimpleSchedulePlugin configuration is 
									provided through the
									
									<SimpleSchedule>
									
									
									
									sub element of the  
									<Plugins> 
									element of the OWAAMSCore configuration. 
									
									 
									Format of the 
									SimpleSchedulePlugin 
									configuration is described in the 
									
									SimpleSchedulePluginConfig.xps file. 
									
									
									 
									
									
									
									Examples 
									 
									
									OWAAMSConsole
									
									and OWAAMSWorker projects contain working 
									examples of 
									SimpleSchedulePlugin usage. 
									 
									
									
									
									Miscellaneous 
									
									
									 
									All dates/times used and written to log by 
									
									
									SimpleSchedulePlugin 
									are expressed as the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). 
									 
									
									If you need to change instances count of two (or 
									more) roles in the same deployment, then you 
									must use separate OWAAMSJobs for each 
									change. In this case the same deployment 
									needs to be upgraded several times. So you 
									must provide time span (at least one minute) 
									between these OWAAMSJobs, otherwise you will 
									get 
									"Windows Azure is currently performing an 
									operation on this deployment that requires 
									exclusive access" error and the second 
									(and next) roles will not be upgraded. 
									 
									Decreasing role instances count to zero or 
									less is impossible. In case of such attempt 
									the resulting role instances count will be 
									one. If there is already one role instance, 
									corresponding information will be returned. 
									 
									If you believe that nothing happens or 
									something goes wrong, double check the log
