Really Appreciatable if anyone give solution for the below query
Cron Expression for Running a job every 2 hours start at 8.05 am ends at 10.05 PM ?

i need some help understanding the behaviour with monthly Cron expression [43 10 3,8,12 */3 *] with start_date as datetime(year=2019, month=11, day=18, hour=1, minute=30, second=0 , tzinfo=pendulum.timezone("UTC")) and end_date as None . This has backfill set as true .
Current Date is: 2020-10-19
As per my understanding it should not have triggered last two runs 10-03 and 10-08 . Can someone please help me understand this behavior? Also if it is triggering run for execution_date of 10-03 and 10-08 then why not for 10-12?
Could you elaborate on "it should not have trifggered the last two runs"?
The cron expression 43 10 3,8,12 */3 * matches:
“At 10:43 on day-of-month 3, 8, and 12 in every 3rd month.”
A good tool to validate cron expression is crontab.guru.
The execution date 10-12 hasn't triggered yet, because of how Airflow handles execution_date - see airflow scheduler:
The scheduler won’t trigger your tasks until the period it covers has ended e.g., A job with schedule_interval set as #daily runs after the day has ended. This technique makes sure that whatever data is required for that period is fully available before the dag is executed. In the UI, it appears as if Airflow is running your tasks a day late
Let’s Repeat That, the scheduler runs your job one schedule_interval AFTER the start date, at the END of the period.
This means the run with execution date 2020-10-12 10:43:00 will be triggered just shortly before 2021-01-03 10:43:00.
I want to launch a same DAG at 2 differents times in the same day without copying this one, for exemple I want to run it every day at 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM
I'm not super certain if it will work but you might want to try passing a cron string to the schedule argument of the DAG. Where the cron defines your two times.
I'm also not certain you'll be able to have 5:00 and 6:30 only though, as different minute / hours.
This is a handy site for validating cron expressions.
This means running at hours 5 and 6 at minute 30.
A problem would be if you wanna 5:00 and 6:30, I don't guess CRON does not handle such options
I have a case in which I'm migrating some tasks from Windows to a platform and we are using cron expressions to replace the Windows Scheduler.
Today we have something in Windows like At 10:20 AM every weekday, every 10 minutes for 9 hours. I'm trying to replace it with chron but I couldn't achieve it so far.
The closest I got is 0 20/10 10-19 * * MON-FRI. The thing is on this cron, it won't execute at 11:00, 12:00 and so on. We have a specific case in which we don't want it to execute at 10:00 AM.
The only option I found is to execute at 10:00AM and put some condition to validate it. Is it possible to achieve this result with only chron?
Thanks!
You can do it with cron, but you'll need to break it up into two schedules.
20/10 10 * * MON-FRI
and
*/10 11-19 * * MON-FRI
Btw, if this is cron on unix, there is no field for seconds.
We need to produce Azure CRON Expression to start job at certain date between a start and end time at intervals of hours or minutes.
So say if I want the job to run every 30 mins starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my expression should go like below?
0 30/30 7-13 * * *
And to run every 2 hours starting from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM everyday, my my expression should go like below?
0 30 7-13/2 * * *
Is it possible to achieve these with Azure CRON at all? If not what's my alternative?
The CRON Expressions are not Azure specific but CRON specific.
First you need to get deep into the cron and understand how it works and what does the cron expression mean here. Then you can use tools like CRONTab Guru here to get to your expression.
To get to something that might be the one you search for:
0,30 7-13 * * *
This expression is read:
“At minute 0 and 30 past every hour from 7 through 13.”
Which is basically every 30 minutes starting at 07:00 and ending at 13:30.
You can give yourself a try with the CronTab Guru and find the best suiting formula for you.
How do i run a cron job everyday from 8:30 pm to 5:30 am(next day) during working hours at the interval of 1 hour. i tried everything from google but no thread meet my requirement due to time range including two days.
i believe this cron expression works: 0 30 0,1,2,3,4,5,20,21,22,23 1/1 * ? *
Use two crontab entries: one for 8:30pm-midnight, and one from 0030 to 0530.
