A run trigger is a flag that tells the system when a recurring run configuration spawns a new run. The following types of run trigger are available:

• Periodic: for an interval-based scheduling of runs (for example: every 2 hours or every 45 minutes).
• Cron: for specifying cron semantics for scheduling runs.
