# Cron

## Introduction

Cron is a Catalyst Cloud Scale component that acts as a job scheduler, allowing you to automate tasks at specific schedules or intervals. It runs a cron daemon in the background that continuously listens for job schedules and triggers them as needed. The entire scheduling mechanism is powered by Catalyst, offering a reliable and scalable way to handle time-based workflows without manual effort.

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called {{%bold%}}Job Scheduling{{%/bold%}} in {{%bold%}}Early Access{{%/bold%}} mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current {{%italics%}}Cloud Scale Cron{{%/italics%}} component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/" %}}here{{%/link%}}.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at {{%link href="mailto:support@zohocatalyst.com" %}}{{%bold%}}support@zohocatalyst.com{{%/bold%}}{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}

You can use Catalyst Cron to run administrative and maintenance tasks periodically or to automate the execution of specific schedule-based processes in the application. Some scenarios where cron can be used include: periodically synchronizing your Catalyst data with a third-party application, updating a cache item's value at regular intervals, or sending monthly, automated, system-generated emails to your application users.

Catalyst Cron can automatically invoke any of the following at specified schedules:

* **Third-party URLs**: Any third-party URLs can be invoked and you can post or modify data in the endpoint
* **{{%link href="/en/serverless/help/functions/cron-functions" %}}Cron functions{{%/link%}}**: Cron functions are custom coding structures that contain the logic of the job to be executed by a cron. You can code them to perform recurring tasks such as backing up data or any one-time tasks that need to be executed at a custom schedule.
* **{{%link href="/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/"%}}Circuit{{%/link%}}**: Circuits is a {{%link href="/en/serverless/" %}}Catalyst Serverless{{%/link%}} component, that enables you automate workflows. You can design the schema of a circuit and pass a JSON input to it to orchestrate tasks upon the invocation of the associated cron.

You can schedule the cron job to be executed once or recursively by defining the specific date and time of the execution or the interval period for recursion.

Catalyst enables you to easily create and configure cron jobs from the remote console. You can also manage cron jobs or view cron resource statistics using these components:

1. {{%link href="/en/devops/help/application-alerts/implementation" %}}**Application Alerts**{{%/link%}}: Catalyst enables developers to configure automatic alerts to be sent to specific email addresses when a Catalyst cron encounters failure, code exception, or timeout.
2. {{%link href="/en/devops/help/metrics/cron" %}}**Metrics**{{%/link%}}: You can view usage statistics of the cron jobs in your project, such as the- number of active or inactive jobs and the execution count of each cron job.

# Key Concepts

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called {{%bold%}}Job Scheduling{{%/bold%}} in {{%bold%}}Early Access{{%/bold%}} mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current {{%italics%}}Cloud Scale Cron{{%/italics%}} component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/" %}}here{{%/link%}}.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at {{%link href="mailto:support@zohocatalyst.com" %}}{{%bold%}}support@zohocatalyst.com{{%/bold%}}{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}

Before you learn about configuring a cron, it's important to understand certain key concepts and terminology about Catalyst Cron.

### Task Engine
The task engine handles the backend logic of cron and handles the execution of cron jobs as per their defined schedule time.

### Schedule Point

The schedule point determines the entity to trigger when a cron job is executed. A cron can trigger either of the following:

- {{%bold%}}Function{{%/bold%}}: You can code a cron function to execute any one-time or recurring routine job that you require. You can pass parameter values to this target function dynamically when the function is called, if needed. You can also insert a placeholder in a parameter. A placeholder is a representational variable for the dynamic value that is passed. When the value is generated at the time of execution, it replaces the placeholder variable.

- {{%bold%}}Third-party URL{{%/bold%}}: When a cron's execution invokes a third-party URL, it sends a HTTP request to the target URL that you specify. This allows for data transmission to occur between Catalyst and the specified target URL, where Catalyst can read data from the destination server or input your application's data to the corresponding components in the server. The following components are involved in sending a request to the third-party URL:
    - **HTTP request methods**<br />
        The following HTTP request methods are supported while invoking a third-party URL by a cron:
        - **POST**: Creates a new resource in the target URL
        - **GET**: Retrieves data from the target URL
        - **PUT**: Replaces an existing resource in the target URL
        - **DELETE**: Deletes an existing resource in the target URL
    
    - **Headers**<br />
        When the HTTP request is sent to the target URL, the requesting entity sends default headers in the request to provide information about the request. Some examples of default headers include the origin of the request, the connection type, and the Content-Type. <br /> 
        
        In addition to the default headers, you can also define custom headers in the HTTP request. For example, you can include a header that specifies the authorization type used, a list of acceptable encoding, or the origin date of the request. <br /> {{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note{{%/bold%}}:  If you use the HTTP {{%italics%}}POST{{%/italics%}} or {{%italics%}}PUT{{%/italics%}} methods in your request, you should set the content-type of the data that is sent in the header. The content-types that are supported are {{%bold%}}TEXT{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(text/plain){{%/italics%}}, {{%bold%}}JSON{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(application/JSON){{%/italics%}}, {{%bold%}}JavaScript{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(application/javascript){{%/italics%}}, {{%bold%}}XML{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(application/xml){{%/italics%}}, {{%bold%}}XML{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(text/xml){{%/italics%}}, and {{%bold%}}HTML{{%/bold%}} {{%italics%}}(text/html){{%/italics%}}.{{%/note%}}
    - **URL Parameters**<br />
        You can pass custom URL parameters in the User-Defined format with the HTTP request, whose values are set dynamically when the third-party URL is invoked. You can customize the parameter value and include any terms that you require to be passed in the parameter.
    - **Request Body**<br />
        You can include an optional HTTP request body while invoking the URL, which can be used to carry form data and other optional data. You can pass the form data in the optional message body in various formats.

- {{%bold%}}Circuits{{%/bold%}}: You can create an automated workflow using the {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/" %}}Circuits{{%/link%}} component, and configure a cron job to trigger it either once or recursively. You can {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/circuits/implementation/#create-a-circuit" %}}create a Circuit{{%/link%}} and design its schema from the Serverless section in the console either through a simple drag-and-drop, or by coding the workflow in JSON. You can then associate the circuit with a cron while creating the cron. You will need to configure the input to be passed to the associated circuit in the form of a JSON. Similar to functions, you can also provide placeholder values in the JSON input. Circuits enable you to execute a bunch of tasks in parallel, or in a sequence, and pass data between them.

### Schedule Type

The schedule type determines the frequency of a cron job's execution. A cron can be executed in one of two ways:

* **One Time**: The cron job is triggered only once on the configured date and time.
* **Recursive**: The cron job is triggered multiple times recursively based on the frequency, date, and time you configure, until you disable or delete it. The minimum recurring frequency a cron can be triggered at is one hour.

### Execution ID

Each cron job is assigned a unique Execution ID when the cron is invoked. You can use this ID to refer to the cron job in your application code or while viewing its execution logs.

# Architecture

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called {{%bold%}}Job Scheduling{{%/bold%}} in {{%bold%}}Early Access{{%/bold%}} mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current {{%italics%}}Cloud Scale Cron{{%/italics%}} component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/" %}}here{{%/link%}}.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at {{%link href="mailto:support@zohocatalyst.com" %}}{{%bold%}}support@zohocatalyst.com{{%/bold%}}{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}

Catalyst cron is a wrapper for the Zoho task engine. The task engine consists of a cron job scheduler and a backend server.

The cron jobs that are created in the Catalyst console are handled by the task engine. The job scheduler handles the sorting of jobs and passes each job to the task engine server at its invocation time that you configure.

The cron jobs are then executed by the task engine server at the scheduled time, based on its configurations.The server either invokes the associated cron function, the configured third-party URL, or the target circuit.


### Cron Workflow

The workflow of Cron operations in Catalyst is as follows:

* Create a cron in the catalyst console.
* The console passes all the cron jobs as they are created to the task engine, along with its configurations including its schedule type and point.
* At a cron's scheduled execution time, the job scheduler passes the job details to the task engine server, which then handles its execution. The server will invoke either the associated cron function, the third-party URL, or the target circuit.
* The execution status and job details of the executed cron job fetched from the Task Engine are then passed on and rendered in the console in the Execution History section.

# Benefits

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called {{%bold%}}Job Scheduling{{%/bold%}} in {{%bold%}}Early Access{{%/bold%}} mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current {{%italics%}}Cloud Scale Cron{{%/italics%}} component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/" %}}here{{%/link%}}.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at {{%link href="mailto:support@zohocatalyst.com" %}}{{%bold%}}support@zohocatalyst.com{{%/bold%}}{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}

* **Effortless to Implement** <br />
    Catalyst Cron can be easily configured from the console and associated with a schedule point. You can initialize a Cron function from the {{%link href="/en/cli/v1/cli-command-reference/" %}}CLI{{%/link%}} with the template provided by Catalyst and code your necessary logic, or you can effortlessly drag and drop schema to handle workflows with Circuits. You also need not set up any elaborate backend or handle dependencies as Catalyst handles the backend logic and infrastructure. This provides you with a seamless developer experience, allowing you to handle any automated, redundant tasks in your business logic with ease.

* **Seamlessly Scalable** <br />
    Catalyst servers can seamlessly handle heavy workload and they can automatically scale up or down based on the requirements. This enables developers to solely focus on configuring the cron job and coding the logic, without needing to perform any additional coding to handle the backend setup. Catalyst's cron jobs execute seamlessly regardless of the load, as they are executed on Zoho's tried-and-tested, reliable infrastructure.

* **Easy and Effective Testing** <br />
    You can test cron functions without having to set-up elaborate test plans using the {{%link href="/en/cli/v1/working-with-functions/functions-shell/" %}}function shell{{%/link%}} in the CLI. Here, you can execute the cron function, and check for bugs and errors. In the event of an error, the error message and details will be displayed in the CLI and a detailed report of the error can be viewed in the {{%link href="/en/devops/help/logs/introduction" %}}Logs{{%/link%}} section of the console.

* **Adept Failure Handling** <br />
    If you trigger a {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/" %}}Circuit{{%/link%}} with a cron job, you can schedule automated workflows to execute and itierate tasks any number of times instead of just once, or execute multiple tasks in parallel. Circuits also allow you to manage failure handling through its in-built functionalities. For example, if the triggered circuit is not able to complete it's execution due to a failure, the circuit can be configured in a manner where it re-itierates the worfklow in the event of a failure, or executes a fallback logic after a set number of recusions. This enables you to automatically configure failure handling, instead of having the process terminate in a failed state until manual intervention.

* **Execution History** <br />
    Catalyst logs every cron job that is executed and makes them immediately available in the {{%italics%}}Execution History{{%/italics%}} section. These logs enable you to assess the performance of your cron jobs and cron functions, debug errors and perform quick fixes, and make informed decisions based on analytics and reports. The execution history is available for 15 days in the {{%link href="/en/deployment-and-billing/environments/development-environment" %}}development environment{{%/link%}} and 30 days in the production environment.

* **Immediate and Precise Alerts** <br />
    Catalyst provides you with the advantage of configuring custom, automated alerts to receive when a cron encounters an exception, failure, or a time out through {{%link href="/en/devops/help/application-alerts/introduction/" %}}Application Alerts{{%/link%}}. Catalyst will send these alerts immediately via email upon the cases you specify. This enables you to easily keep a track of the cron jobs in all your projects and implement immediate fixes during failures.

# Use Cases

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called {{%bold%}}Job Scheduling{{%/bold%}} in {{%bold%}}Early Access{{%/bold%}} mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current {{%italics%}}Cloud Scale Cron{{%/italics%}} component.

* **Applications that update data periodically** <br />
    Certain applications fetch updated data periodically from an external server and display it to their users. For example, a weather application or an application that provides live stock and securities market updates. You can easily build such applications in Catalyst and handle the periodical third-party API invocations automatically in your required time interval or schedule using Catalyst cron. You can explore a similar use case in detail by trying out the {{%link href="/en/tutorials/newsapp/nodejs/introduction" %}}NewsApp tutorial{{%/link%}}.

* **Scheduled backups** <br />
    Backups are crucial in creating required redundancies of data that can be accessed easily, in the event of the original data being accidentally lost or compromised. Catalyst saves you the time and effort in performing backups manually. You can simply configure a cron to the job, and take automatic backups of your data at the time or interval you require.

* **Efficient Handling of Recursive Administrative Operations** <br />
    Human resources operations, such as generating and release of payslips, submission of daily operational reports, and maintenance of employee attendance records, are crucial for the functioning of any organization. Configuring the necessary cron function will ensure that these operations are carried out automatically and per schedule without dedicating additional resources.

* **Handling Operation Redundancies** <br />
    If you consider the process workflow of an organization, especially a tech-centric organization, the infrastructure is generally set up in a way to optimize interoperability. But implementing smooth interoperability creates a large number of redundant tasks, such as rotating log files, syncing files, and cleaning up temporary files. Although redundant, these processes are vital, and implementing dedicated cron jobs to handle these operations would ensure that the tasks are carried out periodically and with no additional manual intervention once the job is set to execute.

* **Alert-based applications** <br />
    Recursive cron jobs can be used in designing applications that send automatic alerts to users frequently. For example, you can build an application that alerts users when they are close to crossing the safety threshold of their expense account.

* **User-configured applications** <br />
    Catalyst cron can process dynamic inputs, You can fetch inputs for a cron job's schedule from your application's users and dynamically execute required logic. This will be helpful in applications like health apps that alert users whenever they need to take their medicines. The users can determine the frequency and schedule of the alerts based on their requirements, and you can write your application logic to process these inputs.

# Submit Cron Instantly

### Description

This API enables you to submit a cron that will instantly {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-instant-job/" %}}submit a job to the job pool{{%/link%}} to trigger a target type endpoint.

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}}

* This API is ideally used to test if the configured cron is functioning as configured.

* In this API, we are illustrating the sample request and sample response with a {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/functions/job-functions/" %}}Job Function{{%/link%}}. The API functionality remains the same for webhook, {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/circuits/introduction/" %}}Circuits{{%/link%}}, and {{%link href="/en/serverless/help/appsail/introduction/" %}}AppSail{{%/link%}} jobs.

* This API is applicable for {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/" %}}Pre-Defined Crons{{%/link%}} and {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/" %}}Dynamic Crons{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}

### Request Details

#### Request URL
{{%request class="apiyellow" req="POST" %}}<p>{app_domain}/baas/v1/project/{project_id}/job_scheduling/cron/{cron_id}/submit_job</p>{{%/request%}}

{{%request_id id="project_id" data="Numerical" %}}The {{%link href="/en/getting-started/set-up-a-catalyst-project/general-settings/"%}}unique ID{{%/link%}} of the project{{%/request_id%}}

{{%request_id id="cron_id" data="Numerical" %}}The {{%link href="/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id"%}}unique ID{{%/link%}} of the cron{{%/request_id%}}

#### Request Headers
{{%scope%}} **Authorization:** Zoho-oauthtoken {oauth_token} <br>
{{%/scope%}}

**Optional Headers** <br>
{{%scope%}} **CATALYST-ORG:** {org_id}
{{%/scope%}}
{{%scope%}} **Environment:** Development
{{%/scope%}}

#### Scope
{{%scope%}}
ZohoCatalyst.cron.CREATE
{{%/scope%}}

### Response Details

The JSON response returns the metadata of the submitted cron. The response will also contain the details of the user who submitted the cron.

{{%note%}}{{%bold%}}Note:{{%/bold%}} The above response is for a cron submitting a function job. For webhook, AppSail, and Circuit, the {{%badge%}}target_type{{%/badge%}} will change. This is quite similar to the API functionality illustrated in {{%link href="/en/api/code-reference/job-scheduling/job/submit-job/submit-function-job/#SubmitaFunctionJobByID" %}}Submit a Job{{%/link%}}.{{%/note%}}
