Hi, could you please advise what I am missing? I would like to have the time as follow: run every month from day 3 till day 10 but only during working days from Monday till Friday at time 10 and 15. I set up Cron Expression as follow:
0 0 10,15 3-10 * 2-6
Thank you for your advice.

It’s either way supporting to day of week or day of month

Thanks

At work we use this formatter for Cron:

Here it also states that day of week or day of month are mutually exclusive:

The way to solve this requires some modification of your workflow.
You start/schedule the job for the specific days of the months only. During startup of the job you validate the day of the week to not execute anything important during the weekend. (Or the other way around, whichver is most relevant for your architecture.

Hey @jarous

Take a look here :slight_smile:

In Summary, you need to use a “Non-working days” calendar COMBINED with a cron expression.

Cron Expression:
0 0 10,15 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 * ? *
Description of cron:
At 10:00 AM and 03:00 PM, on day 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of the month

Non-Working Days Calendar
Then just create the calendar to exclude all Saturday and Sundays.

Let me know if have any further questions. Happy to help where I can :slight_smile:

Cheers

Steve
