Job execution in a jee environment - spring

I am working on an application that gives its users the ability to do financial transactions. I have some operations that need some days to be executed.
So I want to know if there is a way to execute these operations in the expected day without my intervention, I mean it should be automatically done by the system.
I am actually working with spring framework and I have done some researches and find out the Task Execution and Scheduling supported by spring framework. but I don't know if this is a good choice for my case because I don't know if this job executer will work even if my application is not running and as you know the transactions execution should be done with or without running the application.
I am new to spring framework and especially to this job thing.
can anyone please explain to me this 'Job' concept and how to use it in my case.

Scheduling Tasks with spring is very reliable, however your application must be running.
You can use cron expressions to set the trigger, in this example it will run every day from Monday to Friday at 2a.m.
#Component
public class ScheduledTasks {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ScheduledTasks.class);
private static final SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 2 * * MON-FRI")
public void reportCurrentTime() {
log.info("The time is now {}", dateFormat.format(new Date()));
}
}
here how to build cron expressions spring like
Example patterns:
"0 0 * * * *" = the top of every hour of every day.
"*/10 * * * * *" = every ten seconds.
"0 0 8-10 * * *" = 8, 9 and 10 o'clock of every day.
"0 0 6,19 * * *" = 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM every day.
"0 0/30 8-10 * * *" = 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30 every day.
"0 0 9-17 * * MON-FRI" = on the hour nine-to-five weekdays
"0 0 0 25 12 ?" = every Christmas Day at midnight

Spring boot scheduler pause

I have a scheduler it will run every one minute. It works perfectly.
My code:
#Scheduled(cron = "${job.schedule.task.notifyServiceProvider:* */10 * * * *}") //0 59 23 * * ?
#SchedulerLock(name = "notifyServiceProvider()")
#Transactional(readOnly = true, propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
public void notifyServiceProvider() {
//my business logic here
}
Problem:
I want to pause this scheduler for weekends (every Saturday and Sunday)
How to pause scheduler only for Saturday and Sunday?
Feel free to give your feedback, it will helpful for me!
You should edit your Cron expression to exclude weekend i.e. sixth field should be set to 1-5 or MON-FRI.

Spring Scheduler to run at different timings on a single day

I have a requirement where my scheduler has to run for every hour between 9 AM to 12 PM everday and then it runs once by 3PM and 5 PM respectively.
How can i make my CRON expression to work according to the requirement
So far i have tried with below cron expression
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
But that runs for every hour from 9 AM - 12 PM
How can i modify it to make it run once by 3 PM and 5 PM also.
I have tried by combining two cron expressions like below but that dint work.
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *, 0 0 3 * * *")
Can i give 2 cron expressions through 2 #Scheduled like below
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
#Scheduled(cron="0 0 9-12 * * *")
public void myMethod() {}
Would that be a feasible solution?
Can anybody help me with this?
#Schedules annotation can be used to set multiple calendar-based timer expressions.
This annotation will get rid of the redundancy of writing the same
method multiple times.
In the following example, the first expression sets a timer to expire on the last day of every month. The second expression sets a timer to expire every Friday at 11:00 PM.
#Schedules ({
#Schedule(dayOfMonth="Last"),
#Schedule(dayOfWeek="Fri", hour="23")
})
public void doPeriodicCleanup() { ... }

Translating and understanding the #Scheduled cron message

I have this code.
This cron message means "do this method every Sunday in 01.00 a.m." or I make a mistake translating this?
#Scheduled(cron = "0 1 0 * * ?")
private void notificationsScheduler() {
//implementation
}
you are wrong, it means every day.
Your expression
"0 1 0 * * ?"
means: At 00:01:00am every day
As per your requirement : At 01:00:00am, on every Sunday, every month
Use:
0 0 1 ? * SUN *

Sprng Boot #Scheduled task stopped working after cron change

Spring Boot here. I have a scheduled background task that I kick off every hour on the hour:
#Component
public class TokenReaper {
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 * * * *")
public void fire() {
// Doesn't matter what it does...
}
}
I actually need it to now run only at 8:26 AM every day, so only once a day at that time (strange, I know!), so I change the cron expression to:
#Component
public class TokenReaper {
#Scheduled(cron = "0 26 8 * * *")
public void fire() {
// Doesn't matter what it does...
}
}
After making this change, the task stops running at 8:26 AM, and because of the logs I can't tell when its actually running or if its actually running at all! Can anyone see if my new cron expression is somehow malformed or not correctly set to run at 8:26 AM each and every morning?!
You need to add ? in your cron expression by:
Changing #Scheduled(cron = "0 26 8 * * *") into:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 26 8 * * ?")
Try this
#Scheduled(cron = "0 26 8 * * ?")
Cron expression is represented by six fields:
second, minute, hour, day of month, month, day(s) of week
Example patterns
* "0 0 * * * *" = the top of every hour of every day.
* "*/10 * * * * *" = every ten seconds.
* "0 0 8-10 * * *" = 8, 9 and 10 o'clock of every day.
* "0 0 8,10 * * *" = 8 and 10 o'clock of every day.
* "0 0/30 8-10 * * *" = 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30 and 10 o'clock every day.
* "0 0 9-17 * * MON-FRI" = on the hour nine-to-five weekdays
* "0 0 0 25 12 ?" = every Christmas Day at midnight

#Scheduled for every one hour doesn't work. tried various options

i need to use #Schedule spring annotation to with cron parameter to run the job for every one hour. I have tried various option but it doesn't seems to work.
Could someone help me with the valid expression to run for every 1 hour?
ex: 1:00 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 etc.,
Referred: http://www.baeldung.com/spring-scheduled-tasks and http://www.baeldung.com/cron-expressions
Tried the following
0 0/60 * * * *
0 * 0/1 * * *
* * 0/1 * * *
* * 0/60 * * *
Thanks.
FixedRate annotation got worked to run for every hour
#Scheduled(fixedRate=60*60*1000)
public void scheduleFixedRateTask() {
System.out.println(
"Fixed rate task - " + System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000);
}
FixedRate annotation to run for every hour with 10 minutes delay. Incase if you want to make an initial delay to start the job, you can specify "initialDelay". If you specify this value, the the very first time job will be started after the given delay. In the below example, the method is scheduled to run at every hour with initial start delay as 10 minutes.
#Scheduled(fixedRate=60*60*1000, initialDelay=10*60*1000)
#Component
public class SomeScheduler {
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 0/1 * * ?")
public void print() {
System.out.println("====>> print method()...");
}
}
#EnableScheduling
#Configuration
public class AppStarter {
}
Spring #Scheduled annotation has a optional element called timeUnit to setup the time unit use in the fixedDelay, fixedDelayString, fixedRate, fixedRateString, initialDelay, and initialDelayString
So to run a job every one hour #Scheduled(fixedRate = 1, timeUnit = TimeUnit.HOURS)
For other time units (TimeUnit Enum constants) see the docs
#Scheduled(fixedRate = 1, timeUnit = TimeUnit.HOURS)
