Cron Based Scheduling

"Cron Based Scheduling" allows you to schedule builds according to a flexible cron expression. For example, "0 0/30 9-19 ? * MON-FRI" would trigger a build every half-an-hour from 9am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. For more information about cron expressions, see http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/docs/tutorial/TutorialLesson06.html.

To schedule a Plan build using a Cron expression:

1. Navigate to the desired Plan, as described on Configuring a Plan.
2. Click the 'Actions' dropdown and click 'Configure Plan'.
3. Click the 'Repository' tab.
4. In the 'Build Strategy' field, select 'Cron Based Scheduling' (see screenshot below).
5. In the 'Cron Expression' field, type your cron expression. A cron expression consists of 6 mandatory and one optional field. The fields in sequential order are: seconds, minutes, hours, day-of-month, month, day-of-week and (optional) year. For more information about cron expressions, please see http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/docs/tutorial/TutorialLesson06.html.
6. Click the 'Save' button.
