Smart Job Scheduling with Alteryx Server

Question

Hi,

I would like to schedule my jobs on the Alteryx Server, in which the jobs start running at 9:30 AM - 2:00 PM Monday through Friday.

And the job is running every 30 mins..

How do I set this up in the scheduler? I don't see such advanced options in there.

Hi everyone, I just set up things in a way to let the workflow to run every 30 mins every single day, but it will only execute on week days between 9 AM - 11 AM. So the workflow run outside these hours will just usually not be executed, probably ends in 5 seconds base on the True False Condition I have set up.

The option you're looking for isn't there. You're going to have to either:

* Schedule multiple daily jobs on the half hour
* Schedule 2 hourly jobs (and it will run past 2pm)

Your situation is simply too custom to be that clean.

If it makes you feel any better, I had semimonthly jobs that I needed to schedule and it turned out that I just had to schedule one on the first and one on the fifteenth of the month. It isn't clean nor elegant, but it works.

Don't let perfection get in the way of practicality! 😃

I don't think it will. The configuration you provided will only run Mon-Fri at 9:30. The workflow will not run every 30 mins, and it will not stop at 2 PM.
