Help

Hi,

I am supposed to schedule a process in Orchestrator which should run in every four hours on specific days in a week. Is there any way I can do that?

Thanks

@AJ0207

For this you have to use cron expression.

The format is

second, minute, hour, day, month, weekday

so the correct cron expression should be

0 0 */4 * * *

What I did?

  • 0 30 8,11,14,17 ? * MON-FRI Schedule A

  • 0 0 10,13,16,19 ? * MON-FRI Schedule B

Doing this I got my job running every 1 hour and half, from 8:30 untill 19:00, from Monday to Friday.

KR,
Pablo
