I guess there are two separate issues here really. 1) Some sort of UI to enable the scheduled process to be adjusted. The specific use case here (possibly common) is that we have two instances on a single server. It would be better to try and schedule these jobs at different times, so that they are not both competing for CPU/Memory at the same time.
2) The ability to trigger the datamart through a call to the WebAPI. You seem to hint that this is possible, but I am not sure how to do it. If it is, then it solves my problem, as I can use use a simple script to start Server 1 at a certain time and Server 2 at another time. There may be other needs for external systems to request a data mart job however. I will try and work this into at least one blueprint (UI for Datamart scheduling). Not sure about the second point. Maybe it is already possible?
