schedule_simple

Trigger a repaired outcome when a job should be run.

⚙️ Compatible targets: Linux

Parameters

Name	Documentation
job_id	A string to identify this job. This parameter is required.
agent_periodicity	Agent run interval (in minutes). This parameter is required.
max_execution_delay_minutes	On how many minutes you want to spread the job. This parameter is required.
max_execution_delay_hours	On how many hours you want to spread the job. This parameter is required.
start_on_minutes	At which minute should be the first run. This parameter is required.
start_on_hours	At which hour should be the first run. This parameter is required.
start_on_day_of_week	At which day of week should be the first run. This parameter is required.
periodicity_minutes	Desired job run interval (in minutes). This parameter is required.
periodicity_hours	Desired job run interval (in hours). This parameter is required.
periodicity_days	Desired job run interval (in days). This parameter is required.
mode	"nodups": avoid duplicate runs in the same period / "catchup": avoid duplicates and one or more run have been missed, run once before next period / "stateless": no check is done on past runs. This parameter is required.

Outcome conditions

You need to replace ${job_id} with its actual canonified value.

✅ Ok: schedule_simple_${job_id}_ok
- ☑️ Already compliant: schedule_simple_${job_id}_kept
- 🟨 Repaired: schedule_simple_${job_id}_repaired
❌ Error: schedule_simple_${job_id}_error

Documentation

This method compute the expected time for running the job, based on the parameters and splayed uing system ids, and define a conditions based on this computation:

schedule_simple_${job_id}_kept if the job should not be run now
schedule_simple_${job_id}_repaired if the job should be run
schedule_simple_${job_id}_error if their is an inconsistency in the method parameters

If you want to run a job, at every hour and half-hour (0:00 and 0:30), with no spread across system, with an agent running with default schedule of 5 minutes, and making sure that the job is run (if the agent couldn't run it, then at the next agent execution the job should be run), you will call the method with the following parameters:

schedule_simple("job_schedule_id", "5", "0", "0",  "0", "0", "0",  "30", "0", "0", "catchup")

During each run right after o'clock and half-hour, this method will define the condition schedule_simple_job_schedule_id_repaired, that you can use as a condition for a generic method command_execution
