FAQ

Browse through frequently asked questions and find quick solutions to common queries and challenges on working with Catalyst Job Scheduling.

What is a Job Pool?

A Job Pool is an entity you create in Catalyst where Jobs will be pooled and executed. Based on the type of Job Pool, every Job that is executed will invoke any of the following target types' endpoint — Job Functions, Webhooks, Circuits, or AppSail services.

What is a Cron?

Cron is strictly a task scheduler. At the scheduled time, a cron will be executed which will submit a job to the job pool, and based on the type of job and job pool, a target type's endpoint will be triggered. Pre-defined and Dynamic are the two types of crons. Crons can either be executed one-time or periodically.

What is a Job?

A Job is a task that is executed in a Job Pool to trigger a Function, Webhook, AppSail service or Circuit endpoint. Jobs can be executed in one minute interval.
