Schedule a new job using activities

Help Studio

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to use activities to schedule a job in Orchestrator? I saw that there is this “Start Job” activity, however with this activity it is not possible to schedule the job (it will start right away).
I am using UiPath Studio 2022.10.5

is it recurring regularly?
In similar cases we observed that a combination of Queue (intention for the jobstart) and postponed queueitem (representing the deferred job start) was well accepted in the projects

it will not recur on a regular basis: The bot we need to schedule a job wilkl be queue triggered and it could happen that a certain BusinessException occurs. In these cases the queue item should be again processed, but in 2 h from there on. So the idea is to put the item in the queue and schedule a job in 2h in order to be sure that it will be processed again.
What is this postponed queue item you mentioned about? It sounds like exactly what we need

with the postpone property we can set a datetime and express that this item should not be processed before
