The Schedule gate blocks until the current date/time evaluates to the given cron expression, or the configured FlexDeploy group overrides to continue.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Gate Name | The name of the gate. |
Description | An optional description for the gate. |
Schedule Cron Expression | The FlexDeploy group which is responsible for approving or rejecting the task associated with this gate. Sample cron expressions are provided in the drop-down. Starting in the 4.6 release, multiple Cron Expressions can be specified using semicolon as a delimeter. For example, 0 0 11 ? * *;0 0 12 ? * * is equivalent to 0 0 11-12 ? * * This allows for Cron Expressions that are scheduled to run on the 2nd and 4th Friday which is not normally possible with Quartz Cron. A new Admin Screen was added to test expressions in the Administration Menu on the Admin Operations Screen. |
Schedule Override Group | The FlexDeploy group which is allowed to continue execution prior to the gate completing on the configured schedule. |
Precondition | An optional Groovy script which determines whether the gate or step is applicable during execution. The script has access to variables and methods listed in the expression drop-down. The script must return true if the gate/step is applicable, or false otherwise. If no script is provided, the default is to return true (applicable). |
