Introduction
The Scheduler Plugin is a userview menu for Joget Enterprise and Professional to schedule jobs to run at a specific date and time. You can use this plugin to trigger any process tools (except the Form Data Update Tool, which runs only in a process flow).
For example, you can program the Scheduler Plugin to call a JSON POST API plugin to execute a process start at 8:00 am every day in September. Your process could be designed to update some database tables and send out an email notification.
The Scheduler Plugin uses the Java Cron Expression to determine the trigger time. A Cron Expression is a string consisting of six or seven subexpressions (fields) that describe individual details of the schedule. These fields, separated by white space, can contain any of the allowed values with various combinations of the allowed characters for that field. Only future dates are allowed in the cron expression field.
This plugin source code is available in a new open-source repository at https://github.com/jogetoss/. JogetOSS is a community-led team for open-source software related to the Joget no-code/low-code application platform. Projects under JogetOSS are community-driven and community-supported, and you are welcome to contribute to the projects.
