Trigger condition for Recurring schedule

Posted on by arun_kj

Hi Team,

I would like to know if we can give a trigger condition to a recurring scheduler trigger in such a way that the scheduler will not be triggered between 3 AM IST and 4 AM IST.

I tried with the trigger condition mentioned below but it didn't work.

@not(and(greaterOrEquals(formatDateTime(addHours(utcNow(), 5.5), 'HH:mm'), '03:00'), less(formatDateTime(addHours(utcNow(), 5.5), 'HH:mm'), '04:00')))

In fact the scheduler failed to even trigger after I saved this condition. I had to remove the condition for the trigger to work again. It is running fine with a 3 minute frequency but I am trying to utilize the 'trigger condition' option to give a downtime between 3 AM and 4 AM so that remote server restart can be done in that period.

If you have alternate suggestions, please let me know on the same.

I don't think your expression is valid, but I would just configure it in the action as follows:

Hi,

Yeah it looks like that trigger will not work and in lieu of trying to rebuild it, since you only have a one hour period you don't want it to run, it may be easier and more efficient to just add a condition after the trigger and it may look like this:

Current time action or converted time zone

Condition: (example: any current time at 19)

So you may end up with a few more runs that reach the conditional action that is not true (and the no side has a terminate action) but unless you are running thousands of runs in a single hour, the extra runs are essentially invisible. Works in testing.
