I'm trying to have my code execute on a fixed schedule, based on a Spring cron expression. I would like the code to be executed on every first Monday of the Month at 10:00 am.
#Scheduled(cron = "")
public void sendEmail() {
// ...
}
When I write:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 12 ? * MON#1")
protected synchronized void execute() {...}
Application prints following error on startup:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Encountered invalid #Scheduled method 'execute': For input string: "1#1"

How to fire the job on first monday of month using cron expresssion in spring #Scheduled?
The pattern is a list of six single space-separated fields: representing second, minute, hour, day, month, weekday. Month and weekday names can be given as the first three letters of the English names.
https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/scheduling/support/CronSequenceGenerator.html
You can use this expression for that. There is only one Monday in the first 7 days of a month.
"0 0 10 1-7 * MON"
0 0 10 ? * 2#1
0 -> 0th second \
0 -> 0th minute |-> 10:00am
10 -> 10th hour /
2#1 -> 1st Monday of each month
You can use this expression
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 10 ? 1/1 MON#1 *")
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 7 1-7 * MON")
AFAIK, Spring schedule does not support full unix-style cron format.
CronSequenceGenerator
In your case, you can try to switch to Quartz instead of innate scheduling.
Your Trigger should be configured to run with the cron expression: 0 0 10 ? * 2#1
Trigger trigger = TriggerBuilder
.newTrigger()
.withIdentity("triggerIdentity")
.withSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder.cronSchedule("0 0 10 ? * 2#1"))
.build();

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() { ... }
I wan't to have a method run every sunday at 1:30 PM so far I can get thing to run like every 10 minutes or at 1:30 every day, but now specific day
Here is what I have so far
/**
* Fires at 1:30 PM sundauy
*/
#Scheduled(cron = "0 30 13 * 1 ?")
fun sendNotifications() {
}
I think the problem is in the day of month field possibly? or sunday isn't 1 indexed. I see in other con implementations its 0.
the 5th field is used for "month" while 6th field is for "day of week" (see here and here), so your expression ("0 30 13 * 1 ?") will fire your method at "13:30 of every day in January".
weekday names can be given as the first three letters of the English names. in order to schedule a method to run "every sunday at 13:30" this expression can be used:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 30 13 ? * SUN")
I'm writing a scheduled task that need to run every 1st Saturday of each month.
I came up with this:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 23 1-7 * SAT")
// Runs on 1st Saturday of each month at 23:00
public void CleanUpScheduledTask() {
}
How did I come uo with this:
0 0 23 means at 11:00 PM everyday
1-7 * means between 1-7 every month
SAT Saturdays
How do you suggest to make sure that the above expression is valid? how I test such functionalities?
Thanks for the help.
1. Building Cron Expression
Using the Spring cron job expression
#Scheduled(cron = "[Seconds] [Minutes] [Hours] [Day of month] [Month] [Day of week] [Year]")
NB year field is optional
# used to specify day of the week and week the task should start.
eg first Saturday of every month(7#1)
? represents no specific value and can be used in either the day of month or day of week field
* represents all values
hence cron expression becomes
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 23 ? * 7#1")
2. Testing Cron Job
use Awaitility dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.awaitility</groupId>
<artifactId>awaitility</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
-using Spring Integration testing
#SpringJUnitConfig(CleanScheduler.class)
public class CleanSchedulerUnitTest {
#Autowired
private CleanScheduler cleanScheduler;
#Test
void cleanUpScheduledTaskShouldReturnSuccess() {
//Act
cleanScheduler.cleanUpScheduledTask();
//Assertions
}
}
You can use an online Cron generator like https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html to generate cron expressions or to describe what you posted.
0 0 0,23 ? * 7#1 * should be described and run At second:00, at minute:00, at 00 am and 23pm, on the 1st Saturday of the month, every month.
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 have to write a spring scheduler which runs once in a week , say every Monday at 1 AM .What will be the cron expression for that , can we archive this using fixedDely.
You can use cron for that:
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 1 * * MON")
In order from left to right of a cron expression:
second, minute, hour, day of month, month, day(s) of week
A fixed delay is a delay, not a recurring event. With fixedDelay you could setup an event that runs after a fixed period in milliseconds between the end of the last invocation and the start of the next. That's not what you want here.
To have a job run every monday at 1 AM you can setup a cron expression
#Scheduled(cron = "0 0 1 * * MON")
