How to Create a New Cron Job
To create a new cron job, you have to click on the icon.
An empty cron job data sheet opens. In this data sheet you must fill the following fields:
Name
Pattern
Internal context
Service
Event
Activate job after saving
Execute job after saving
Payload
Enter a Name for the job.
You can enter a six-digit Pattern. If you use only five digits, the seconds are omitted.
The pattern defines the schedule of the job. Using the correct pattern, you can determine whether the job should be executed at fixed times, dates, or intervals.
Formatting of the Pattern:
Separate the individual digits by spaces.
You can use * as a wildcard.
The following order applies to the input:
Frequently Used Patterns
Every minute: * * * * *
Every second: * * * * * *
Every midnight: 0 0 * * *
All 15 seconds, but only on sundays: */15 * * * * 0
Every minute between 17:30 and 17:45: 30-45 17 * * *
Mondays to fridays at 01:20 and 01:30: 20,30 1 * * 1-5
The options for the Internal context are Yes and No (default).
If you choose No (default), the job will be executed in the user context of the logged-in user.
If you choose Yes, the job will be executed in the internal context without user data.
Enter the appropriate Service in this field.
Example:model-execution-service is used to execute EPC models.
Enter the name of the function.
Example:executeModel is used if an EPC is to be executed.
The Activate job after saving field allows you to activate the job directly.
Choose option Activate to activate the job when it is created.
If you choose Don't activate (default), the job remains deactivated until you activate it manually (see page Editing a Cron Job for details).
The Execute job after saving field allows you to initiate the first execution of the job regardless of the pattern.
If you choose Execute, the job will be executed initially after its creation - regardless of the defined pattern. The second execution is then based on the pattern.
If you select Don't execute (default), the execution will be based directly on the pattern if the job is activated.
In this field you have to enter your service request. The Payload must contain a valid JSON.
