Create a Recurring Cron
Using the following SDK, you will be able to create a recurring cron that can be executed at various time-period intervals. 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.

// create function job meta const jobMeta = { job_name: ’test_job’, // set a name for the job target_type: ‘Function’, // set the target type as Function for function jobs target_name: ’target_function’, // set the target function’s name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) // target_id: ‘123467890’, // set the target functions’s Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) jobpool_name: ’test’, // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) // jobpool_id: ‘1234567890’ // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) job_config: { number_of_retries: 2, // set the number of retries retry_interval: 15 * 60 // set the retry interval }, // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) params: { arg1: ’test’, arg2: ‘job’ }, // set params to be passed to target function (optional) };
// create every cron details const everyCron = { cron_name: ’every_cron’, // set a name for the cron (unique) description: ’every_cron’, // set a description for the cron (optional) cron_status: true, // set the cron status as enabled cron_type: ‘Periodic’, // set the cron type as Periodic for every cron cron_detail: { hour: 2, // set the hour interval of the repetition minute: 1, // set the minute interval of the repetition second: 3, // set the second interval of the repetition repetition_type: “every” // set the repetition type as every for every cron }, job_meta: jobMeta // set the function job meta };
// create every cron const everyCronDetails = await jobScheduling.CRON.createCron(everyCron);
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.
copy
// create function job meta const jobMeta = { job_name: ’test_job’, // set a name for the job target_type: ‘Function’, // set the target type as Function for function jobs target_name: ’target_function’, // set the target function’s name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) // target_id: ‘123467890’, // set the target functions’s Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) jobpool_name: ’test’, // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) // jobpool_id: ‘1234567890’ // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) job_config: { number_of_retries: 2, // set the number of retries retry_interval: 15 * 60 // set the retry interval }, // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) params: { arg1: ’test’, arg2: ‘job’ }, // set params to be passed to target function (optional) };
// create daily cron details const dailyCron = { cron_name: ‘daily_cron’, // set a name for the cron (unique) description: ‘daily_cron’, // set a description for the cron (optional) cron_status: true, // set the cron status as enabled cron_type: ‘Calendar’, // set the cron type as Calendar for daily, monthly and yearly cron_detail: { hour: 0, // set the hour of the day in which the cron should be executed minute: 0, // set the minute of the day in which the cron should be executed second: 0, // set the second of the day in which the cron should be executed repetition_type: ‘daily’, // set the repetition type as daily for daily cron // timezone: ‘America/Los_Angeles’ // set the timezone (optional) }, job_meta: jobMeta // set the function job meta };
// create daily cron const dailyCronDetails = await jobScheduling.CRON.createCron(dailyCron);
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.

// create function job meta const jobMeta = { job_name: ’test_job’, // set a name for the job target_type: ‘Function’, // set the target type as Function for function jobs target_name: ’target_function’, // set the target function’s name (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) // target_id: ‘123467890’, // set the target functions’s Id (optional) (either target_id or target_name is mandatory) jobpool_name: ’test’, // set the name of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) // jobpool_id: ‘1234567890’ // set the Id of the function jobpool (optional) (either jobpool_name or jobpool_id is mandatory) job_config: { number_of_retries: 2, // set the number of retries retry_interval: 15 * 60 // set the retry interval }, // set job config - job retries => 2 retries in 15 mins (optional) params: { arg1: ’test’, arg2: ‘job’ }, // set params to be passed to target function (optional) };
// create monthly cron details const monthlyCron = { cron_name: ‘monthly_cron’, // set a name for the cron (unique) description: ‘monthly_cron’, // set a description for the cron (optional) cron_status: true, // set the cron status as enabled cron_type: ‘Calendar’, // set the cron type as Calendar for daily, monthly and yearly cron_detail: { hour: 0, // set the hour of the day in which the cron should be executed minute: 0, // set the minute of the day in which the cron should be executed second: 0, // set the second of the day in which the cron should be executed days: [1, 3, 5], // set the days of the month in which the cron should be executed // week_day: [1, 3], // set the days of the week in a month during which the cron should be executed // weeks_of_month: [2], // set the weeks of the month during which the cron should be executed repetition_type: ‘monthly’, // set the repetition type as monthly for monthly cron // timezone: ‘America/Los_Angeles’ // set the timezone (optional) }, job_meta: jobMeta // set function job meta };
// create monthly cron const monthlyCronDetails = await jobScheduling.CRON.createCron(monthlyCron);
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.
