Create a One-Time Cron

The Cron component is used to schedule the submission of a job to the job Pool. Using the following SDK, you will be able to create a cron that will schedule a job submission only once.

Note: The following SDK is written for a job that will trigger a Job Function. To make the SDK compatible for the other types, you need to replace the value with proper Job Pool ID, or Job Pool Name, and provide the appropriate Target Name, or Target ID.

Ensure the following packages have been imported:

copy
// 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 // generate cron details ZCCronDetails oneTimeCronDetails = ZCCronBuilder.zcOneTimeCronBuilder() // get one time cron builder .setCronStatus(true) // set cron as enabled .cronConfig((System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000) + (60 * 60), "America/Los_Angeles") // set the execution time as UNIX timestamp in seconds .setJobMeta(jobMeta) // set job meta (modify based on the job) .setCronName("one_time_cron") // set cron name (unique) .setCronDescription("one_time_cron") // set corn description (optional) .build(); // build cron details // create one time cron ZCCronDetails oneTimeCron = jobScheduling.cron.createCron(oneTimeCronDetails);
Note: We urge you to use this SDK to configure only Dynamic Crons. Use the UI Builder to configure Pre-defined Crons.
