# SCHEDULER activity

In Business Integration Solutions, use the **SCHEDULER** activity to allow background pipeline processing anywhere in the pipeline except at the start or end.

## Usage

Use this activity when you want a message to process in a background session with the remaining pipeline elements.

## Concept

The **Scheduler** lets a user-specific pipeline process hand over to a background session. This means the user does not have to wait for certain parts of the pipeline processing to complete.

Notification Management benefits from using the **Message Editor** instead of **OutlookWriter** for performance gains. It is recommended to use the **Scheduler** and **SMTP Writer** in the pipeline.
