In AWS glue service there is an option to trigger job by custom CRON expression. Before i used this (0/2 * * ? *) cron expression to trigger job for every 2 hours.
Now I need to change the cron expression to trigger every 90 minutes, i.e for every 1 and a half hour. I tried with many cron expressions but that did not triggered for every 90 minutes. Even if i give for 90 minutes, it trigged for every 1 hour.
Can anyone help me out by providing the correct cron expression to trigger job for every 90 minutes ?
You can use the following pattern which was based on Bill Weiss' answer on Server Fault. It was modified to comply with the unique syntax AWS uses (reference here):
0 0-21/3 * * ? *
30 1-22/3 * * ? *
You'll have to define two separate Glue Triggers to accomplish this, each with the same job settings.
If curious, the syntax reads:
Run every 0th minute for every third hour for 0-21 hours
Run every 30th minute for every third hour for 1-22 hours

I can't figure out how to create a job that ends at a specific hour and minute
If you break your cronjob into two, it would look like:
* 8-19 * * * command
0-30/1 19 * * * command
first line runs every minute from 8-19, and second line every minute from 19-19:30.
Cron triggers are not quite suitable for these types of schedules. If you do not insist on using a Cron trigger, I recommend that you check the Daily Time Interval trigger that is designed for use-cases such as yours. I am attaching a screenshot of a Daily Time Interval Trigger configuration for your use-case.
I want to create a cron expression which will run the scheduler every 2.5 min of every hour. e.g. 2.5min, 5.0min, 7.5min, 10.0min etc. of every hour.
I am using Spring to create the scheduler. I tried various combination but nothing worked. One of them is as below but it is not working.
#Scheduled(cron = "*/30 */2 * * * *")
Thanks in advance.
That should works for you
0 0/5 0 ? * * *
30 2/5 0 ? * * *
At second :00, every 5 minutes starting at minute :00, at 00am, of every day
At second :30, every 5 minutes starting at minute :02, at 00am, of every day
You are right in this case you need to schedule your task twice using expression like on example.
There is a danger of becoming fixated on the 30 seconds. My problem was that I needed to check 18000 records for updates every month ~ 1 record every 2.5 minutes. I spent too much time trying techniques to run a job at exactly 02:32:30 before I realised that accuracy was not important.
In my situation, I realised I could execute every 2 minutes, updating my full database every 25 days instead of every 31 days.
Alternatively, I could have had 2 cron jobs running every 5 minutes. First, a 2-minute gap, followed by a 3-minute gap.
02:30 02:32 02:35 02:37 02:40 02:42 02:45 02:47
My point is that when the cron job is live, it runs unseen. Obviously, everyone has their own specific problem, but before introducing complexity, consider if it is necessary. As long as the job executes, does it really matter the exact time it ran?
How do I achieve this? I mean, I can make it execute every n hours using triggers. But how do I make it execute every n hours, then every n + 1 hours, then repeat this loop?
You can change trigger of cron job with updating job trigger item (Trigger).
You can create a single trigger for this. For example "5 3-6/1 * * *" which stands for "At minute 5 past every hour from 3 AM through 6 AM."
After your business logic is done receive the trigger of the cron job set a new activation time and store it via model service.
This will re-schedule the cronjob out-of-the-box.
In you case it could be helping to configure the trigger at a fixed date in the past so the automatic re-scheduling do not happen.
If I wish to run my function app at 11.15 PM to next day 1.15 AM(That mean MONDAY 11.15 PM start and TUESDAY 1.15 AM will end) and it will trigger every minute during this time.
Can anyone help me to write this CRON expression?
The timer triggers are designed for a single repeating interval. The only way to do this completely within a Function is to run the trigger once per minute, then abort if the current time isn't in the desired target time period.
Alternately, put your logic into an HTTP trigger configured to act as a webhook, then use an Azure scheduler to configure start and stop times and intervals.
You won't be able to use the scheduler free plan since it can only run once per hour, but the standard plan can run once per minute. Scheduler pricing here.
You'll have to do this in three lines I think,
15-59 23 * * *
* 0 * * *
0-15 1 * * *
This will run it from 23:15-23:59 then 00:00-00:59 then 1:00-1:15
I am using the Quartz Scheduling and I've tried to create a trigger that starts every day at 9 AM until 5 PM, every 25 minutes. It should like that:
9:00, 9:25, 9:50, 10:15, 10:40, 11:05, etc
The final quarts expression looks like that:
0 0/25 9-17 * * ? *
But the execution looks like that:
9:00, 9:25, 9:50, 10:00, 10:25, 10:50, 11:00, etc
There is any way to reach this schedule:
9:00, 9:25, 9:50, 10:15, 10:40, 11:05, etc
or I should change quartz?
Thank you!
Actually this question is similar to Cron expression to be executed every 45 minutes SO question.
Cron expression will not allow you to do that as it defines the exact date and times, when a trigger must be fired. And setup like your actually means "fire every 25 minutes, starting at minute 0 of every hour".
You can achive what you want by using SimpleTrigger with .WithIntervalInMinutes(25) configuration.
SimpleTrigger should meet your scheduling needs if you need to have a job execute exactly once at a specific moment in time, or at a specific moment in time followed by repeats at a specific interval.
P.S. Your cron expression will work for 20 minutes (0 0/20 9-17 * * ? *), as 60 is a multiple of 20. Just in case changing interval is not critical to you)
P.S.2 To be honest you can use Cron expressions if setup few trigger for different intervals, but that is useless. Anyway look onto this SO answer
