Trigger shape (schedule)
Introduction
Trigger schedule options are used to schedule the associated process flow to run at a specified frequency and/or time. Here, you can use intuitive selection options to define your requirements or - if you are familiar with regular expressions - use advanced options to build your own expression.
Trigger schedules are based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Scheduling options (occurrence)
Schedules can be defined based on the following occurrences:
Minutes
Define a schedule to run every x minutes - for example:
Hourly
Define a schedule to run every x hours - for example:
Daily
Define a schedule to run on selected days of the week at a given start time - for example:
Use the every dropdown list for quick daily presets, or define custom settings:
Monthly
Define a schedule to run on selected days of the month or weeks, for selected months, at a given start time - for example:
Use the every dropdown list for quick monthly presets, or define custom settings:
Advanced
If you are familiar with cron expressions, you can select this option to activate the cron expression field beneath and enter your required expression directly:
Patchworks supports the 'standard' cron expression format, consisting of five fields: minute, hour, day of the month, month, and day of the week.
Each field is represented by a number or an asterisk (*) to indicate any value. For example:
0 5 * * * would run at 5 am, every day of the week.
Extended cron expressions (where six characters can be used to include seconds or seven characters to include seconds and year) are not supported.
