Migrate from the old scheduling approach with intrinsic tools to the new Chat UI-based scheduling. The previous method required you to manually integrate intrinsic tools (i__get_schedule_intrinsic_tool__, i__delete_schedule_intrinsic_tool__, i__get_flow_status_intrinsic_tool__) into your agents. These tools are now deprecated and you no longer need them.

​
Migration steps

1

Remove old intrinsic tools

Remove the deprecated tools from your code:
  • i__get_schedule_intrinsic_tool__
  • i__delete_schedule_intrinsic_tool__
  • i__get_flow_status_intrinsic_tool__
2

Configure agents or agentic workflows as schedulable

Enable scheduling by adding the appropriate flag to your agentic workflows and agents.For agentic workflows:Add schedulable=True to the @flow decorator:
from ibm_watsonx_orchestrate.flow_builder.flows import flow

@flow(
    name="my_flow",
    schedulable=True  # Add this flag
)
def my_workflow():
    # Workflow logic
    pass
For agents:Add is_schedulable=True to the agent configuration:
from ibm_watsonx_orchestrate.agent_builder.agents import Agent

my_agent = Agent(
    name="my_agent",
    is_schedulable=True,  # Add this flag
    tools=["my_flow"],  # Include your schedulable workflow
    # other configuration...
)
3

Redeploy

After you make these changes:
  1. Import your updated agent or agentic workflow. For more information, see:
  2. Test scheduling to ensure it works correctly.
  3. Deploy to your live environment when ready.
