Hi
I am setting up a re-occurig task in JIRA, which I'd like to run at 12:01 AM Monday to Friday.
So I have the following Cron expression in place
0 01 0 * MON-FRI
And the task is set to start from 2017-08-02 00:01 but when this is saved it says the next run date is 2017-09-01 01:00
Images of the screens are included
Any ideas on where I might be going wrong?
Thanks
Susan
Hi Susan,
First of all, if you want to run at 12:01 AM, I believe your cron expression should look like:
1 0 * * MON-FRI"
(minutes come before hours).
That being said, the add-on you're using would not do that for you. The reason is highlighted on your screenshot, as they are creating issues every 30 minutes. This means that even though you'll set a desired cron expression, your actual running time will get "rounded up" to next half an hour.
If you'd like to have a precise control over when the tasks are created (without the 30 minutes rounding), I'd suggest you give The Scheduler a try.
All the best,
Maciej
Thanks very much Maciej - i thought it would be quiet a silly mistake! I'll have a look at Scheduler too.
