But for testing with the business or on your own , you don't want to wait for a day to see the change
Here is a simple console app code which you can use to change timer schedule for testing for any other reason
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;
namespace UpdateTimerJob
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
updateTimer();
}
static void updateTimer()
{
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp2010/sites/timer/"))
{ foreach (SPJobDefinition job in site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
{ if (job.Title == "WorkflowEscalation")
{
SPMinuteSchedule schedule = new SPMinuteSchedule();
schedule.BeginSecond = 0;
schedule.EndSecond = 59;
schedule.Interval = 5;
job.Schedule = schedule;
job.Update();
Console.WriteLine("START UPDATING... ");
}
Console.WriteLine("JOB: " + job.Title);
}
}
}
} }
Note: this need to run on the server; you can further modify this app to read site, title & schedule, then update accordingly
