CronExpress

String

No

00 05 00 * * ?

The CRON expression that represents the periodic scheduling policy of the node. This parameter corresponds to the Cron Expression parameter in the Schedule section of the Properties tab in the DataWorks console. After you configure the Scheduling Cycle and Run At parameters in the DataWorks console, DataWorks generates the value of the Cron Expression parameter.

Examples:

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run at 05:30 every day: 00 30 05 * * ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run at the fifteenth minute of each hour: 00 15 00-23/1 * * ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run every 10 minutes: 00 00/10 * * * ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run every 10 minutes from 08:00 to 17:00 every day: 00 00-59/10 8-17 * * * ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run at 00:20 on the first day of each month: 00 20 00 1 * ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run every three months from 00:10 on January 1: 00 10 00 1 1-12/3 ?

  • CRON expression for a node that is scheduled to run at 00:05 every Tuesday and Friday: 00 05 00 * * 2,5

The scheduling system of DataWorks imposes the following limits on CRON expressions:

  • The minimum interval specified in a CRON expression to schedule a node is 5 minutes.

  • The earliest time specified in a CRON expression to schedule a node every day is 00:05.

CycleType

String

No

DAY

The type of the scheduling cycle. Valid values: NOT_DAY and DAY. The value NOT_DAY indicates that the node is scheduled to run by minute or hour. The value DAY indicates that the node is scheduled to run by day, week, or month.
