Is it possible to edit an Azure Automation Schedule?

Question

I have created a schedule for an Azure Automation Runbook, and linked the schedule to the Runbook. However I notice that one cannot edit the schedule, or even delete the schedule. I may be missing something. It seems one can just create Automation schedules. Please note I am not talking about the Azure Scheduler here with its "Job Collections " etc.

Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Answer 1

You can delete and unlink a schedule in both the old portal and the preview one. You cannot edit the time or frequency of the schedule though. Please vote for this on UserVoice so that the product team can prioritize this.

To unlink in the old portal, select the runbook > click schedule > highlight the schedule to remove > click the unlink button at the bottom right.

To delete a schedule in the old portal, go to Assets > highlight the schedule to delete > click the delete button on the bottom of the screen.

Answer 2

While you can't edit Azure Automation schedules, you can hook up Azure Automation runbooks to start based on Azure Scheduler jobs, and I think you can edit those scheduled jobs.
