52 The [Scheduler Plugin>extensions:Extension.Scheduler Plugin] and the [Scheduler Application>extensions:Extension.Scheduler Application] have been released in version 1.1 and are bundled with XWiki Enterprise 1.2 milestone 2. They allow you to create jobs (Groovy scripts) to be executed in the future. They are used for example in the [Watchlist plugin>extensions:Extension.Watchlist Plugin] to send email notifications for pages or spaces you are monitoring.

83 1.1 Migrating from 1.1.1 or later
84
85 The database structure has been changed but we have set up an automatic migration system so you shouldn't have to touch your Database to upgrade to 1.2M1. Thus you can simply install this version and configure it to point to your existing database. However you may want to [import the default wiki XAR>Main.Download] in order to benefit from improvements listed above.
86
87 1.1 Migrating from versions earlier than 1.1.1
