# Update Cron

The following SDK can be used to update a particular cron's details. You can use this SDK to update the name, description and target. You can select your required cron by passing the [`cron id`](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id) to `getCron()` method.

> **Note:** You can use this method to update details of both [Pre-Defined Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/) and [Dynamic Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/).

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.jobscheduling.beans.cron.ZCCronDetails;
```

```java
ZCCronDetails cron = jobScheduling.cron.getCron(12378634912l); // get cron with cron Id
cron.setCronName("test_cron"); // set new cron name
ZCCronDetails updatedCronA = jobScheduling.cron.updateCron(12378634912l, cron); // update cron with cron Id
updatedCronA.setCronName("updated_test_cron");
ZCCronDetails updatedCronB = jobScheduling.cron.updateCron("test_cron", cron); // update cron with cron name

```
