Hi,
you can use below expression

0 0 12 ? * 2#1,2#2

• 0: Seconds (0)
• 0: Minutes (0)
• 12: Hour (12)
• ?: Day of the month (don’t specify a specific day)
• *: Month (every month)
• 2#1,2#2: Day of the week (Tuesday), and #1 and #3 indicate the first and third occurrence of that day in the month, making it biweekly.

Check on the below thread

Workaround For A Biweekly CRON Schedule

How to set up a trigger that launches every other/alternate week? Advanced scheduling of the triggers in Orchestrator can be handled via CRON expressions. More information elaborated below: Using CRON Expressions Advanced Scheduling via CRON Expressions However, there is not any direct CRON expression that is available for a biweekly schedule (skipping one week in between). Below is a possible workaround for this situation: Create an asset in Orchestrator for initial run with a val…

Cron expression: every two Fridays

@Isabel_Lopez You cannot directly do this only using orchestrator You have to use a logic in your code as well to run as expected One thing you can do is … Schedule bot on every friday Now create a asset names lstrun and initially give the first rundate as input Now in the initialize state use get asset and get last rundate…and check the fifference between today and lastrundate using datediff function… If the difference is 14 then run the process or if difference is greater than 8 …then run…

Hope this helps!!

Hi @Putta_Sri_Sai_Rishik_Chow

If you want to run the bot in 1st week of Tuesday and 3rd week of Tuesday at 12:00 PM, use the below one,

0 12 * * 2#1,2#3

If you want to run the bot in 2nd week of Tuesday and 4th week of Tuesday at 12:00 PM, use the below one,

0 12 * * 2#2,2#4

Hope it helps!!

Hi @Putta_Sri_Sai_Rishik_Chow,

I don’t think there is a direct way to do this, at least not a non-complex direct way.

You can use multiple cronjobs:
1st Tuesday: 0 0 0,12 ? * 3#1 *
3rd Tuesday: 0 0 0,12 ? * 3#3 *
5th Tuesday: 0 0 0,12 ? * 3#5 *

You will need to create three triggers.

Run them on Free Online Cron Expression Generator and Describer - FreeFormatter.com, should work as they are.

Another (complex) logic could be to add 14 (13?) days (or convert to minutes) from the first Tuesday.

Hope this works for you!
