I am trying to run a lambda 18 pm UTC every Friday:
new Rule (this, 'lambda', {
schedule: Schedule.expression('cron(0 18 ? * FRI *'),
targets: [lambdaTarget],
})
But received error "Parameter ScheduleExpression is not valid."
What is wrong with the expression?
Assuming it isn't a typo in your question.
schedule: Schedule.expression('cron(0 18 ? * FRI *'),
should be
schedule: Schedule.expression('cron(0 18 ? * FRI *)'),
Notice the extra ')'.

My job is running every at the time specified but its running every second of time specified, for example if I set a job to run at 22:54 it will run every second from 22:54:00 until 22:54:59. I want it to just run once at the time specified...any help is much appreciated
my code:
#Scheduled(cron = "* 54 22 * * ?")
public void getCompaniess() {
System.out.println(new Date()+" > Running testScheduledMethod...");
}
output:
Thu Mar 12 22:54:00 GMT 2020 > Running testScheduledMethod...
Thu Mar 12 22:54:01 GMT 2020 > Running testScheduledMethod...
.....
Thu Mar 12 22:54:59 GMT 2020 > Running testScheduledMethod...
Change the first * to 0, with a star you are saying "every second".
Replacing it with a 0 (or any other number 0-59) will have it run on that "second" instead of "all of them".
#Scheduled(cron = "0 54 22 * * ?")
public void getCompaniess() {
System.out.println(new Date()+" > Running testScheduledMethod...");
}
I want to know about the meaning of this expression in
0 * * * * *
I think it means the scheduler is expected to run every seconds.Can anyone confirm me about this?
#Scheduled(cron = "0 * * * * *")
To be more precise , you can use CronSequenceGenerator to verify the execution time of a cron expression . Spring internally use this object to calculate the next triggered time of a cron expression.
For example, the following function will simply print out the next 10 triggered time.
public static void printNextTriggerTime(String cronExpression, LocalDateTime currentTime) {
CronSequenceGenerator generator = new CronSequenceGenerator(cronExpression);
Date d = Date.from(currentTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant());
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
d = generator.next(d);
System.out.println(d);
}
}
So , if I input :
printNextTriggerTime("0 * * * * *", LocalDateTime.of(2019, 8, 20, 15, 30, 0));
It will output :
Tue Aug 20 15:31:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:32:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:33:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:34:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:35:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:36:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:37:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:38:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:39:00 HKT 2019
Tue Aug 20 15:40:00 HKT 2019
which means 0 * * * * * will run at every minute but not second.
An update on the answer by Ken Chan taking into account that CronSequenceGenerator is deprecated in Spring in favour of CronExpression:
public static void printNextTime(String cronString) {
CronExpression exp = CronExpression.parse(cronString);
Stream.iterate(now(), exp::next).limit(10).forEach(System.out::println);
}
The call printNextTime("0 * * * * *"); generates:

I am not sure if this is an issue or if I am doing something wrong. I noticed on application startup, when you query for changes with
.withNewObjectChanges(true)
the response is empty list of new objects, but if you call commit and then query for changes again, the response is complete.
Response on application startup:

I am using Spring schedule. I configured the following Cron expression to run my task every Tuesday night at 9pm,
"0 0 21 * * TUE"
However, I am getting the following exception when am starting the application
Encountered invalid #Scheduled method 'runSchduler': Cron expression must consist of 6 fields
Is my Spring Cron expression wrong?
Is my Spring Cron expression configured, to run every Tuesday night at 9
wrong?
Yes :)
But try,
0 0 21 ? * TUE
Or with the Spring annotation:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 21 * * TUE")
The following is a really handy website for creating Cron expressions.
http://www.cronmaker.com/
Take note: Just remove the last element from the created expression to use it with Spring scheduling.
And a nice way to verify it in Natural Language here
Cron Expression for Everyday Tuesday Midnight 9 PM
0 0 21 ? * TUE
cleck below cron with zone example
#Component
public class SpringScheduling {
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 21 ? * TUE",zone="Asia/Calcutta")
public void trackScheduling() {
System.out.println("Scheduled task running");
}
}
Looks like you have a field too much?
Just generated this based on your criteria of Tuesdays at 9PM
"0 21 * * 2"
I would like my watcher to run from Monday to Friday only. So I'm trying to use this schedule:
"trigger": {
"schedule" : { "cron" : "0 0 0/4 * * MON-FRI" }
},
"input": {
...
However, I'm getting
Error
Watcher: [parse_exception] could not parse [cron] schedule
when I'm trying to save the watcher. Removing MON-FRI does helps but I need it.
This expression works:
0 0 0/4 ? * MON-FRI
But I'm not sure I understand why ? is required for either the day_of_week or day_of_month
Thank you!
I believe this is what you are looking for:
"0 0 0/4 ? * MON-FRI"
You can use croneval to check your cron expressions 1:
$ /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/x-pack/croneval "0 0 0/4 ? * MON-FRI"
Valid!
Now is [Mon, 20 Aug 2018 13:32:26]
Here are the next 10 times this cron expression will trigger:
1. Mon, 20 Aug 2018 09:00:00
2. Mon, 20 Aug 2018 13:00:00
3. Mon, 20 Aug 2018 17:00:00
4. Mon, 20 Aug 2018 21:00:00
5. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 01:00:00
6. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 05:00:00
7. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 09:00:00
8. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 13:00:00
9. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 17:00:00
10. Tue, 21 Aug 2018 21:00:00
For the first expression you'll get following java exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: support for specifying both a day-of-week AND a day-of-month parameter is not implemented.
You can also use Crontab guru to get human readable descriptions like:
At every minute past every 4th hour from 0 through 23 on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday.
The question mark means 'No Specific value'. From the documentation on Quartz's website:
? (“no specific value”) - useful when you need to specify something in one of the two fields in which the character is allowed, but not the other. For example, if I want my trigger to fire on a particular day of the month (say, the 10th), but don’t care what day of the week that happens to be, I would put “10” in the day-of-month field, and “?” in the day-of-week field. See the examples below for clarification.
http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/documentation/quartz-2.x/tutorials/crontrigger.html
I suppose since you want your schedule to run every 4 hours, mon-fri, the actual day of the month is irrelevant, so the ? specifies that. * on teh other hand would be 'all values' which would not make sense since you are specifying only mon-fri for day of the week.
Hope that helps!
