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: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current Cloud Scale Cron component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service here.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at support@zohocatalyst.com. 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 * **Cron functions**: 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. * **Circuit**: Circuits is a Catalyst Serverless 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. **Application Alerts**: 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. **Metrics**: 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. To practice working with Catalyst cron, refer to this tutorial. <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Key Concepts" description: "Catalyst Cron enables you to configure job schedulers to automatically execute routine, custom tasks at specific schedules or intervals." last_updated: "2026-09-02T11:24:40.077Z" source: "https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cron/key-concepts/" service: "Cloud Scale" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Key Concepts Note: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current Cloud Scale Cron component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service here.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at support@zohocatalyst.com. 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: - Function: 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. - Third-party URL: 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: If you use the HTTP POST or PUT 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 TEXT (text/plain), JSON (application/JSON), JavaScript (application/javascript), XML (application/xml), XML (text/xml), and HTML (text/html). - **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. - Circuits: You can create an automated workflow using the Circuits component, and configure a cron job to trigger it either once or recursively. You can create a Circuit 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Architecture" description: "Catalyst Cron enables you to configure job schedulers to automatically execute routine, custom tasks at specific schedules or intervals." last_updated: "2026-09-02T11:24:40.078Z" source: "https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cron/architecture/" service: "Cloud Scale" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Architecture Note: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode.

You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service here.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at support@zohocatalyst.com. 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. <br /> <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Benefits" description: "Catalyst Cron enables you to configure job schedulers to automatically execute routine, custom tasks at specific schedules or intervals." last_updated: "2026-09-02T11:24:40.078Z" source: "https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cron/benefits/" service: "Cloud Scale" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Benefits Note: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current Cloud Scale Cron component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service here.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at support@zohocatalyst.com. * **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 CLI 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 function shell 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 Logs section of the console. * **Adept Failure Handling** <br /> If you trigger a Circuit with a cron job, you can schedule automated workflows to execute and iterate 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 its execution due to a failure, the circuit can be configured in a manner where it re-iterates the workflow in the event of a failure, or executes a fallback logic after a set number of recursions. 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 Execution History 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 development environment 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 Application Alerts. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Use Cases" description: "Catalyst Cron enables you to configure job schedulers to automatically execute routine, custom tasks at specific schedules or intervals." last_updated: "2026-09-02T11:24:40.078Z" source: "https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cron/use-cases/" service: "Cloud Scale" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Use Cases Note: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode. This service is a significant upgrade to the current Cloud Scale Cron component. You can find out more about the Catalyst Job Scheduling service here.<br /><br />To use the Job Scheduling service in the Early Access mode, email us at support@zohocatalyst.com. * **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 NewsApp tutorial. * **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. <br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- title: "Implementation" description: "Catalyst Cron enables you to configure job schedulers to automatically execute routine, custom tasks at specific schedules or intervals." last_updated: "2026-09-02T11:24:40.084Z" source: "https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/cron/implementation/" service: "Cloud Scale" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Implementation Note: Catalyst now offers you a brand new scheduling service called Job Scheduling in Early Access mode.

To delete a parameter, click (**-**). #### Circuit If you choose to trigger a circuit: <br /> * Select the **Target Circuit** from the drop-down. The list will display all the circuits you have configured in the *Serverless* section of the console. Note: If you have not created any circuit prior to creating your cron, click the Create New button in the drop-down. You will be directed to the Circuits component, and you can create a new circuit. * Pass the input to the associated circuit as JSON key-value pairs in the *JSON Input for Circuit* section. <br> 4. Select the **Schedule Type** of the cron as **One Time** or **Recursive**. #### One-time execution * Select the schedule date the cron must be executed on, from the calendar. * Configure the hour, minute, and second from their drop-down lists. * Choose the time zone of the execution. The cron will be executed on the configured time in that time zone. Note: You can configure the cron's time zone independently from the project's time zone that you set under the General Settings. #### Recursive - Select the **Repeat Type** for a recursive cron from the drop-down list as **Every**, **Daily**, **Monthly**, or **Yearly**. - If you select the Repeat Type as **Every**, configure the hours, minutes, and seconds of the time from the drop-down lists to specify the frequency. The cron will be executed once every specified time interval. For example, in the screenshot below, the cron will be executed once every hour. - If you select the Repeat Type as **Daily**, configure the hours, minutes, and seconds of the time period for the cron to execute. The cron will be executed everyday at the specified time. - If you select the Repeat Type as **Monthly**, you can choose to schedule the cron's execution by the date of the month or by the week of the month, to be executed on a specified day. - Select **Day** if you want to schedule the cron's execution by the date of the month. Click on all the dates of the month the cron must be executed on, from the calendar. - Select **Week** if you want to schedule the cron's execution by the week of the month. Click the **Select Week** tab and choose the week from the drop-down list. Click the **Select Day** tab and select the day the cron should be executed on from the drop-down list. - After you select the days, configure the time for the cron to be executed on from the Hours, Minutes, and Seconds drop-down lists. - If you select the Repeat Type as **Yearly**, select all the months the cron must be executed on, from the Months drop-down list. After you select the months, you can schedule the cron's execution by the date of the month or by the week of the month, as mentioned in the previous step. You can then configure the time in the same way as the previous step. 5. After you configure all the details, click **Save**. Catalyst will now display the cron job in the Cron page along with its details. A unique **Cron ID** is automatically created for a cron when it is created, and displayed in the details. You can refer to a cron by its ID in your application code. <br /> You can click on a cron to view further details about it. <br /> ### Configuring Alerts in Cron You can configure application alerts for the events where your cron may encounter a failure, code exception, or time out. You can configure email alerts from the cron console without having to navigate to the Application Alerts component. 1. Click **+Configure** in the cron's details section to create an alert. <br /> 2. Click **Confirm** once you configure the application alert. You can refer to the Application Alerts help page for details. <br /> 3. You can also delete the application alert by clicking the ellipsis icon beside the alert status and clicking **Remove**. <br /> ### Enable or Disable a Cron You can temporarily enable or disable a cron job using the toggle switch under the Status column. If you disable a cron, Catalyst will not trigger its execution until you manually enable it again. <br /> <br /> Note: If a cron associated with a third-party URL fails in its executions 50 times in a row, Catalyst will automatically disable it. You can configure Application Alerts to automatically notify you whenever a cron's execution fails. You can then check the cron's execution history from the console and perform the required bug fixes. Cron jobs associated with cron functions will not be disabled automatically irrespective of repeated failures. ### Cron Execution History You can view the history and details of a cron's execution from its Execution History. Click the icon under the History column for a cron to open its execution history. <br /> Catalyst displays the execution log of all cron job executions in your project. This contains detailed information about the cron job, such as the Execution ID, the start and end time, the execution time, the execution status, and links to Catalyst Logs. <br /> You can click **View Logs** to check detailed logs about the corresponding cron function's execution. You can also filter and view the execution history based on the status of the cron job. You can select a specific time and also the time zone of the cron execution to view its particular execution history. Note: Catalyst retains the execution history of a cron job for 15 days in the development environment, and 30 days in the production environment. ### Edit a Cron To edit a configured cron: 1. Open the cron that needs to be edited from the Cron page. 2. Click **Edit** in its details page. <br /> 3. Make the necessary changes, then click **Save**. <br /> ### Delete a Cron To delete a cron permanently: 1.

The intervals can range from a minute to entire calendar years. ### Create an Every Cron The following SDK can be used to create a recurring cron that will submit a job to the job pool at a scheduled interval that is less than **24Hrs**. Note: The following SDK is configured to submit a job every 2Hrs 1Mins and 3secs. You can change this value as per your requirement by passing the relevant value to the setTime() method. #### Sample Code Snippet <br> import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronDetails; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail; import org.json.simple.JSONObject; // generate function job meta ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.functionJobBuilder() // get function job builder .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) .setJobpoolName("functions_jobpool") // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) // .setJobpoolId(1234567890L) // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) .setTargetName("target_function") // set target function's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target function's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) .setParams(new JSONObject() { { put("arg1", "job"); put("arg2", "test"); } }) // set params to be passed to target function (optional) .setJobName("job_name") // set job name .build(); // build job meta // EVERY CRON => which will be run for every 2hrs 1min and 3sec // generate cron details ZCCronDetails everyCronDetails = ZCCronBuilder.zcEveryCronBuilder() // get every cron builder .setCronStatus(true) // set cron as enabled .setTime(2, 1, 3) // set the repetition interval .setJobMeta(jobMeta) // set the job meta (modify based on the job) .setCronName("every_cron") // set cron name (unique) .setCronDescription("every_cron") // set corn description (optional) .build(); // build cron details // create every cron ZCCronDetails everyCron = jobScheduling.cron.createCron(everyCronDetails); <br> ### Create a Daily Cron The following SDK can be used to schedule a cron to submit a job to the job pool at a fixed time at a **daily interval**. Note: The following SDK is configured to execute the cron on 0Hr 0Min 0Sec every single day. You can change this value as per your requirement by passing the relevant value to the setTime() method. #### Sample Code Snippet <br> import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronDetails; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail; import org.json.simple.JSONObject; // generate function job meta ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.functionJobBuilder() // get function job builder .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) .setJobpoolName("functions_jobpool") // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) // .setJobpoolId(1234567890L) // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) .setTargetName("target_function") // set target function's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target function's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) .setParams(new JSONObject() { { put("arg1", "job"); put("arg2", "test"); } }) // set params to be passed to target function (optional) .setJobName("job_name") // set job name .build(); // build job meta // DAILY CRON => which will be run on 0hrs 0mins and 0sec daily // generate cron details ZCCronDetails dailyCronDetails = ZCCronBuilder.zcDailyCronBuilder() // get daily cron builder .setCronStatus(true) // set cron as enabled .setTime(0, 0, 0) // set the time of the day during which the cron should be executed // .setTimezone("America/Los_Angeles") // set the timezone (optional) .setJobMeta(jobMeta) // set the job meta (modify based on the job) .setCronName("daily_cron") // set cron name (unique) .setCronDescription("daily_cron") // set corn description (optional) .build(); // build cron details // create daily cron ZCCronDetails dailyCron = jobScheduling.cron.createCron(dailyCronDetails); <br> ### Create a Monthly Cron The following SDK can be used to schedule a cron to submit a job to the job pool at a fixed date, and time at a **monthly interval**. Additionally, you also have the option to submit a job at a monthly interval but on a particular week. If you choose to schedule the cron to execute at a monthly interval on a date-based schedule, then the range of possible dates, based on the **month**, will be **1-31**. Similarly, if you choose a **week-based** interval, then the range can either be from **1-4**, and the particular **days of the week** will be in the range of **1-7**. Note: The following SDK is configured to execute the cron that will submit a job to the job pool every month on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th at 0Hrs,0Mins, 0Secs. You can change this value as per your requirement by passing the relevant value to the setTime() method. #### Sample Code Snippet <br> import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronDetails; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail; import org.json.simple.JSONObject; Note: In the following SDK snippet, if you comment out the lines .setWeeksOfMonth(1, 3) and .setDayOfTheWeek(1, 2), and comment in code lines .setTime(0, 0, 0) and .setDays(1, 3, 5), then the cron will be scheduled to submit a job to the job pool every month on the 1st and 2nd days of the 1st and 3rd week of a month. // generate function job meta ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.functionJobBuilder() // get function job builder .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) .setJobpoolName("functions_jobpool") // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) // .setJobpoolId(1234567890L) // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) .setTargetName("target_function") // set target function's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target function's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) .setParams(new JSONObject() { { put("arg1", "job"); put("arg2", "test"); } }) // set params to be passed to target function (optional) .setJobName("job_name") // set job name .build(); // build job meta // MONTHLY CRON => which will be run on 0hrs 0mins 0sec on 1st 3rd and 5th days of every month // generate cron details ZCCronDetails monthlyCronDetails = ZCCronBuilder.zcMonthlyCronBuilder() // get monthly cron builder .setCronStatus(true) // set cron as enabled .setTime(0, 0, 0) // set the time of the day during which the cron should be executed .setDays(1, 3, 5) // set the days of the month (day based config) // .setWeeksOfMonth(1, 3) // set the weeks of the month (either week based or day based config is necessary) // .setDayOfTheWeek(1, 2) // set the days of the week (either week based or day based config is necessary) // .setTimezone("America/Los_Angeles") // set the timezone (optional) .setJobMeta(jobMeta) // set the job meta (modify based on the job) .setCronName("monthly_cron") // set cron name (unique) .setCronDescription("monthly_cron") // set corn description (optional) .build(); // build cron details // create monthly cron ZCCronDetails monthlyCron = jobScheduling.cron.createCron(monthlyCronDetails); <br> ### Create a Yearly Cron The following SDK can be used to schedule a cron tosubmit a job to the job pool at a fixed date, and time at a fixed month on a **yearly** interval. Additionally, you also have the option to submit a job at a yearly interval but on a particular week. If you choose to schedule the cron to execute at a **yearly** interval on a **date-based** schedule, then the range of possible dates, based on the **month**, will be **1-31**, and the **month** will be determined based on the range of values **1-12**. Similarly, if you choose a **week-based** interval, then the range can either be from **1-4**, and the particular **days of the week** will be in the range of **1-7**. Note: The following SDK is configured to execute the cron that will submit a job to the job pool on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on the 8th month of every year. You can change this value as per your requirement by passing the relevant value to the setTime() method. #### Sample Code Snippet <br> import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronDetails; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobBuilder; import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.job.ZCJobMetaDetail; import org.json.simple.JSONObject; // generate function job meta ZCJobMetaDetail jobMeta = ZCJobBuilder.functionJobBuilder() // get function job builder .setJobConfig(2, 15 * 60 l) // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) .setJobpoolName("functions_jobpool") // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) // .setJobpoolId(1234567890L) // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpoolId or jobpoolName is mandatory) .setTargetName("target_function") // set target function's name (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) // .setTargetId(1234567890L) // set the target function's Id (optional) (either TargetName or TargetId is mandatory) .setParams(new JSONObject() { { put("arg1", "job"); put("arg2", "test"); } }) // set params to be passed to target function (optional) .setJobName("job_name") // set job name .build(); // build job meta // YEARLY CRON => which will be run on 0hrs 0min 0sec on 1st 2nd 3rd days of the 8th month of a year // generate cron details ZCCronDetails yearlyCronDetails = ZCCronBuilder.zcYearlyCronBuilder() // get yearly cron builder .setCronStatus(true) // set cron as enabled .setTime(0, 0, 0) // set the time of the day during which the cron should be executed .setDays(1, 2, 3) // set the days of the month // .setWeeksOfMonth(1) // set the weeks of the month (either week based or day based config is necessary) // .setDayOfTheWeek(3) // set the days of the week (either week based or day based config is necessary) .setMonths(8) // set the months // .setTimezone("America/Los_Angeles") // set the timezone (optional) .setJobMeta(jobMeta) // set the job meta (modify based on the job) .setCronName("yearly_cron") // set cron name (unique) .setCronDescription("yearly_cron") // set corn description (optional) .build(); // build cron details // create yearly cron ZCCronDetails yearlyCron = jobScheduling.cron.createCron(yearlyCronDetails); Note: We urge you to use this SDK to configure only Dynamic Crons.
