Description Jan Hutař 2010-09-16 13:16:07 UTC

Description of problem:
I have tried to use various examples of Quarts cron format and was not able to specify year.

http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/docs/tutorials/crontrigger.html


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Galactica 20100910.2
quartz-1.8.1-3.el5sat
spacewalk-taskomatic-1.2.35-1.el5sat


How reproducible:
1 of 1 satellite


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create repos and channel, assign some repo(s) to the channel
2. Go to Channels -> Manage Software Channels -> <channel> -> Repositories -> Sync -> Custom Cron format:
3. Enter "0 15 10 ? * * 2011" (~ every day in 10:15 in year 2011) and click on "Schedule"


Actual results:
Red warning saying: "Invalid schedule entry: 0 15 10 ? * * 2011"


Expected results:
Should work or there should be a link to supported formats of input

This would be nice to have fixed. I don't see us blocking release for it. I assume this is mostly functional, but some syntax is not available. We may want to do kbase initially for customers on accepted input.

Comment 2 Jan Hutař 2010-09-17 06:40:55 UTC

Another not accepted input from Quarz examples:

0 15 10 ? * 6#3   Fire at 10:15am on the third Friday of every month
0 0 12 1/5 * ?	  Fire at 12pm (noon) every 5 days every month, starting on
                  the first day of the month.
0 11 11 11 11 ?	  Fire every November 11th at 11:11am.

Comment 3 Justin Sherrill 2010-09-23 22:49:46 UTC

I believe my fixes for 634834 already fixed this, as I am not able to reproduce with my current devel setup or with spacewalk-java-1.2.39-9.el5sat which was built on the 21st.

Comment 5 Tomas Lestach 2010-10-06 11:18:57 UTC

All of the stated cron expressions are now accepted:

0 15 10 ? * * 2011
0 15 10 ? * 6#3
0 0 12 1/5 * ?
0 11 11 11 11 ?

I tested following cron expressions (similar to those reported in the BZ) and verified the repository got synced:

0 48 05 ? * * 2010    5:48 every day during 2010
0 08 6 ? * 4#1        06:08 every 1st Thr every month
0 15 6 1/5 * ?        06:15 every 5 days every month starting on the 1st day of the month
0 17 6 6 10 ?         06:17 on 6th of Oct every year

VERIFIED with spacewalk-java-1.2.39-26.el5sat on Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20101001.1

Comment 8 Michael Mráka 2010-10-21 09:50:36 UTC

Verified in stage.

Expressions from comment #5 work.
