Schedule encryption, decryption, and rekeying jobs to run at a time that is best for
your instance.

## Vorbereitungen

Encryption, decryption, and rekeying jobs can be time and resource intensive, so
consider scheduling at non-peak hours. Also ensure that the user scheduling the job
has the appropriate access for each job.

Role required: sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

Mass encryption and decryption is also available from the Encrypted Field
Configurations form. See [Run mass encryption or decryption](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vHU5O5id8J_D4WlQfGNcBw "You can run mass encryption on encryption configurations, as well as a mass decryption to decrypt previously encrypted values.") for instructions.

## Prozedur

1. Navigate to AllSystem SecuritySecurity Jobs.
2. Click New.
3. Complete the scheduling form.

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Name of the encryption, decryption, or re-keying job. |
   | Type | Job type: * Key Migration Context to Module: Mass migration of Encryption Context keys to Encryption Modules, including creation of Module Access Policies records for access controls on the Encryption Modules * Data Migration Context to Module: Migrates data encrypted by Encryption Contexts to Encryption Modules * Mass Decryption Attachment:Decrypts all encrypted attachments in records for a single table you define in the Table field. * Mass Encryption Attachment: Encrypts all attachments in records for a single table you define in the Table field. * Mass Encryption: Encrypts any pre-existing value in the defined column/field used in the Field Encryption Configuration * Mass Decryption Module: Decrypts any pre-existing value in the defined column/field used in the Field Encryption Configuration with Single Module. * Mass Decryption Multi Module: Decrypts any pre-existing value in the defined column/field used in the Field Encryption Configuration with Multiple Module. * Mass Rekeying: Re-encrypts any pre-existing value in the defined column/field used in the Field Encryption Configuration using the current active key for the module. * Migrate Attachment Context to Module: Encrypts any pre-existing attachment on the table defined in the Field Encryption Configuration. Any attachment previously encrypted with a context is re-encrypted with the module. {#schedule-mass-jobs__ul_w3c_z5g_wkb} |

   Hinweis:  
   Because of system overhead, you should schedule mass encryption, decryption, and rekeying jobs to run at non-peak hours. The ServiceNow AI Platform runs the job between the Time window start and Time window end. If the job is not complete in one processing window, it continues during the next specified processing window until all processing is complete.
4. Click Submit.
5. After you schedule a job, you can do the following.
   * Click Cancel Job to cancel a running job.
   * Click Start to start a job immediately.
   * Click Update to save any changes you make to the job schedule.
   * Click Delete to delete the scheduled job.
