Example Workflow Schedule 0 0 22 ? * MON,WED * Every Monday and Wednesday at 10:00pm 0 /5 9-17 ? JAN * Every five minutes between 9:00am-5:00pm in January The following table defines each field in the CRON expression:Field Description Valid Values Special Characters 1 Seconds 0-59 , - * / 2 Minutes 0-59 , - * / 3 Hours 0-23 , - * / 4 Day of the month 1-31 , - * / ? L W 5 Month 1-12 or JAN-DEC (case insensitive) , - * / 6 Day of the week 1-7 or SUN-SAT (case insensitive) , - * / ? L # 7 (Optional) Year blank or 1970-2199 , - * / Add settings to both the fourth and sixth fields. One of these fields must contain ?.The following table defines the special characters:Special Character Description , Additional values. For example MON,WED,FRI in field 6 means the days of Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- Range of values. For example, 10-12 in field 3 means the hours of 10, 11, and 12.
* All values. For example, * in field 2 means every minute.
/ Incremental values and a starting value. For example, 0/15 in field 1 means every 15 seconds starting at 0 (0 15, 30, and 45).
? No value. L The last (final) valid value. For example L in field 6 means Saturday.
Using L in field 6 with an additional value specifies a specific day of the month. For example 6L means the last Friday of the month. You can also specify an offset, such as L-3, to mean the third-to-the-last day of the month.
Using L in field 4 will vary, depending on the month. For example 31 for January or 28 for February in a non-leap year.
When using L, do not specify a range of values.W The week day (Monday-Friday) nearest to the indicated day. For example 15W in field 4 means the nearest weekday to the 15th day of the month. If the 15th is a Saturday, the system will execute the workflow on Friday the 14th.
Using W will not execute a job in a different month. For example, if using 1W and the first day of the week is Saturday, the system will execute the job on Monday the 3rd, not the prior month's Friday.
# The nth day of the month. For example, 6#3 in field 6 means the third Friday of the month.
If you specify a day that does not exist, such as 3#5 for a month that does not have five Tuesdays, the system will not execute the scheduled workflow
