Requirements

  • You have done all the previous tutorials

What you will learn

  • How to set your Jobs periodic

Jobs can be set periodic.
Periodicity is defined when you edit your Job in Settings.

Periodicity

You can add one or multiple periodicity.

The format is a cron schedule expression. For example if you want to setup the periodicty every day at 1 am you will use 0 1 * * *, if you want every day at 2:35 am 35 2 * * *. If you don't know this format you can learn it by examples here: https://crontab.guru/examples.html

Info

If you set a periodicity on the previous Job you will get an error during the execution. This is due to the fact that the task export is set to the mode: "USER_SELECTION" therefore the Job expect a user selection to be executed.
Periodicity must be set for Jobs like daily getting files within a sFTP server or daily export all items to an API with the mode: "ALL" on the Export Items task.
