Can anybody please tell me how to write a trigger in Quartz Scheduler which starts at Wednesday (17:23:12) and runs till Sunday (20:00:00). I am not sure about no. of repeations.
It's hard to say how you should do this when you aren't sure about the number or timing of the repeats. Knowing that would help decide which type of trigger to use (e.g. CronTrigger vs. SimpleTrigger).
However, regardless of the type of trigger, you would create a Date that is Wednesday at 17:23:12 and set that as the trigger's startTime property, and another Date that is Sunday at 20:00:00 and set that as the trigger's endTime property.
Then if a SimpleTrigger, you would set a repeat interval of XXX and a repeat count of "indefinitely". If a CronTrigger you would set a cron expression that represents the time(s) of day that you want the firing to occur.

For my enterprise application, i need do the batch operation with time of intervals.
While referring quartz scheduler, there are two types. One is simple trigger and another one is cron trigger.
I am confusing about these concepts. Please explain me with simple example.
Please refer to the examples given in the documentation.
CronTrigger
CronTrigger is often more useful than SimpleTrigger, if you need a job-firing schedule that recurs based on calendar-like notions, rather than on the exactly specified intervals of SimpleTrigger.
Some Examples
“every Friday at noon” or “every weekday and 9:30 am”, or even “every 5 minutes between 9:00 am and 10:00 am on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during January”, .
CronTrigger Example 1 - an expression to create a trigger that simply fires every 5 minutes
“0 0/5 * * * ?”
CronTrigger Example 2 - an expression to create a trigger that fires every 5 minutes, at 10 seconds after the minute (i.e. 10:00:10 am, 10:05:10 am, etc.).
“10 0/5 * * * ?”
CronTrigger Example 3 - an expression to create a trigger that fires at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, and 13:30, on every Wednesday and Friday.
“0 30 10-13 ? * WED,FRI”
CronTrigger Example 4 - an expression to create a trigger that fires every half hour between the hours of 8 am and 10 am on the 5th and 20th of every month. Note that the trigger will NOT fire at 10:00 am, just at 8:00, 8:30, 9:00 and 9:30
“0 0/30 8-9 5,20 * ?”
What is the cron expression for the following schedule :
Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 am, every 2 weeks.
Can we define "Every 3 weeks" regardless of the the start time ? (I don't care if it's every 3 weeks starting from the first week of the month or year, I want to run it for 5 years and literally every 3 weeks)
You can't find a cron expression that meets your schedule.
For example this howto states, that:
You need a SimpleTrigger or CalendarIntervalTrigger to schedule
biweekly fire points.
I think you need two Simple Triggers to define a schedule like "Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 am every 2 weeks", namely one biweekly trigger for each monday, and just like that one biweekly trigger for each tuesday.
Similarly you could tackle the "Every 3 weeks" problem.
I created event in iCalendar. Its start date is today and end date is next month 15th. and this is recurrence type of event . so if set event as recurrence event then changed end date as same as recurrence end date. I want to give time duration of event,like 3.30P.M to 6.30P.M. How to i set event duration ....
"DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970105T083000
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=2;BYMONTH=1;BYDAY=SU;BYHOUR=8,9; BYMINUTE=30
First, the "INTERVAL=2" would be applied to "FREQ=YEARLY" to arrive at "every other year".
Then, "BYMONTH=1" would be applied to arrive at "every January, every other year".
Then, "BYDAY=SU" would be applied to arrive at "every Sunday in January, every other year".
Then, "BYHOUR=8,9" would be applied to arrive at "every Sunday in January at 8 AM and 9 AM, every other year".
Then, "BYMINUTE=30" would be applied to arrive at "every Sunday in January at 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM, every other year".
Then, lacking information from RRULE, the second is derived from DTSTART, to end up in "every Sunday in January at 8:30:00 AM and 9:30:00 AM, every other year".
Similarly, if the BYMINUTE, BYHOUR, BYDAY, BYMONTHDAY or BYMONTH rule part were missing, the appropriate minute, hour, day or month would have been retrieved from the "DTSTART" property."
Please any one guide me how to set ...
I know how to recurrence rule is working but my question is how to set event duration.
No client that I know of support BYMINUTE and BYHOUR so unless this event is for your own application consumption, you are asking for trouble. IN any case, the very first instance will use the DTSTART value as the beginning, regardless of what you may have put in BYMINUTE and BYHOUR (see https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.8.5.3)
Then you can use DTEND or DURATION:
DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970105T083000
DTEND;TZID=US-Eastern:19970105T153000
or
DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970105T083000
DURATION:PT7H
My app requires users to schedule recurring events that can recur daily, weekly, monthly, or bi-weekly.
By bi-weekly, I mean every fortnight (14 days) starting from an arbitrary date value provided at the time of creation.
My jobs table has two columns to support this: job_frequency_id and job_frequency_value. I'm able to schedule all types except for bi-weekly.
The first col is an FK to the job_frequencies table; it contains daily, weekly, monthy, bi-weekly values. The job_frequency_value contains the value corresponding to the frequency.
For example: If a job has a job_frquency_id == 3 and job_frequency_value == 10, it will run every 10th day of the month.
How do I add bi-weekly support without tampering with my db structure? I will use the job_frequency_value col to store the start date of the 14 day period, but I'm unsure of the calculation going forward.
Say your starting date is stored as a variable named 'createdDate'.
nextFortnight = DateAdd("ww", job_frequency_value*2, createdDate);
can you wrap your scheduled task in a and set it to run every week?
Something like
<cfif DateDiff('ww',CreateDate(2011,01,01),Today'sDate) MOD 2 EQ 1>
That way if the weeks are odd your scheduled task runs completely and if it's an odd week then it runs the scheduled task, but ignore all your code.
I am to create email alert which works together with workflow rule.
My goal is to set the workflow that runs 2am everyday &&
my custom object field 'startDate' is tomorrow.
Basically every 2am workflow checks my custom object and see if startDate is tomorrow.
I'm at workflow page looking at Date predefined variable,
I see:
DATE
DATEVALUE
DAY
MONTH
NOW
TODAY
YEAR
For the startDate, I can set condition startDate = today() + 1
For second condition which is 2am everyday I can't think of a way. I don't see HOUR variable etc..
Has anyone done this before?
UPDATE
This might work I have to test though..
Change NOW() datetime output to String (done by TEXT)
Start from index 12 and grab 2 chars to the right (done by MID)
This means I obtained hour part of current time and if the value equals to '02' which means
2am at night.
MID(TEXT(NOW()), 12, 2) = '02'
Wait a sec.. but WHEN does salesforce check this workflow???
If they check workflow once a day, what time it would be? If check is done past 2am, this workflow would never get looked at??? I'm a bit confused.
Work flow only triggers on some event (object update, create, etc.). So having it run at 2am without a some sort of trigger is impossible.
The trick is to use schedulable apex to insert an object (or update a field) every day at 2am and set your workflow to trigger on that insert/update. Then your workflow would fire off on that object at whatever time your scheduled apex ran.
